Guys and gals,

I found this 55 gallon powder-coated steel fuel tank for a mogas=20
transfer tank for $100 plus shipping. As usual, Homier is a bit sketchy=20
with data on it but it seems identical with a tank that Northern Tool=20
sells for  $225. The Northern Tool one is noted "not for gasoline" in=20
its printed catalog.

I noticed that the Northern Tool tanks are all quite a bit more=20
expensive and that nearly none of them are listed for gasoline.

Anyone know enough about tank regulations to tell me what will or won't=20
work for this application? Or are manufacturers just wary of liability=20
risk if you put gasoline in them and want to discourage you from doing =
it?

Here's the URL for that cheap tank:
http://www.homier.com/detail.asp?sku=3D03160

For comparison, the Northern Tool tank at www.northerntool.com is Item # =

334296.
