I ended up contacting a transfer tank manufacture here in Texas and of course they could answer my question right away. 1. If the tank is used to power equipment directly i.e. boat, generator etc then you can drag around 125 gallons. 2. If it is a transfer tank with pump and hose for filling other equipment you are limited to 25 gallons. There may be an exception for certified tanks. I found one manufacture in California that make certified transfer tanks for gasoline. 70 gallons for $735. It might take a couple of years to breakeven verses 100LL.
