Here's a posting from Barry last August.  Now that I'm was ready to buy the
tank they apparently don't sell it or the transfer pump anymore - at least I
can't find it on their website.  Bummer.

Subject: [FlyRotary] fuel transfer tank?

Guys and gals,

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

I noticed that the Northern Tool tanks are all quite a bit more
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
work for this application? Or are manufacturers just wary of liability
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=03160

For comparison, the Northern Tool tank at www.northerntool.com is Item #
334296.
