Here is what finally managed to concoct for refueling my tractor. I take it down the the fuel distributor to fill up with off road diesel which saves me about 40 cents a gallon. The last batch of off road diesel I purchased was 90 a gallon. I usually buy about 100 gallons at a time. Just remember Off Road Diesel is EXACTLY that. It is dyed red to show that no tax has been paid on it. DO NOT use it in your diesel truck or car that you use on public roads. Just a small amount of the red dye fuel mixed in with your regular taxed diesel (dyed green) pump at the filling station can be detected. The revenue & police check periodically by pulling you over or checking your tank at places like livestock auctions. The fines for misusing it are very severe. In some states like my TN I understand it can be $125 per gallon of capacity up to a fine cieling. It is a good fuel resource for those you use enough to justify its use in their tractors and equipment.
The tank and pump I purchased used, from a friend. I purchased the fuel tank filter at Tractor Supply Center. (TSC) TSC has all of the parts and tanks to make your own. In some cases, the local Coop will bring you our a tank and pump and fill it for you if you purchase a minimum amount of fuel. Best to check around your area and see what works best for you.
