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?
Dollars to donuts the only difference between a diesel tank & a gasoline tank is the color.
If I was *really* worried about legality, I'd spray a red ring on a couple of $15 surplus steel drums & strap 'em down in the back of a truck or on a Harbor Freight trailer. There are obviously some significant advantages to living in a backwater state....
