Actually, $10 is a steal for those containers. Used and refurbished tanks like those typically sell in the $100 to $150 range, and are about $300 new. The product is normally called a 275 gallon IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) Tote Tank. You can read more about them and compare prices by searching for those keywords at Google.

Hey.

You could probably fill a bunch of 5 gallon gas jugs and transfer fuel to bulk tank at home. I think there may be a limit to how much gas you can buy at once and I know most stations would stop you from filling one if they saw what you're doing. Around 2200 pounds of weight for the gas and a major hazard to transport. We runout the gas from the previous fall during spring in our gas tractors and have no problems with blending or lack of stabilizer.
