What a wonderful idea. I have a 24gal tank on my pickup. It would take two trips to the gas station, but it would be much nicer than having some huge bomb-wannabe sitting around idle most of the time. Yep, that's what I'm planning. My hanger police won't allow fuel storage, so it has to be something that you can take with you. I thought of doing this before, but the typical tank only holds 17 gallons or so, and that wasn't enough to be worth the trouble. Now that I have this fine 34 gallon tank, it will work very well. The RV-3 only holds 30, and will never be below 5 gallons. I just need a suitable pump, and I'm in business. As you may be able to tell, I'm still looking for reasons to help ease the pain of buying a truck, and selling my FD. Not being arrested for tripling the speed limit is one reason :-) Rusty ------=_NextPart_000_00D4_01C41058.C93FBAE0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
