Fuel Trailer?? any one have one?
 

I am getting tired of carring 5 gallon cans or paying high marina prices for gas when a gas station is right down the road from me. I was thinking of building a fuel trailer100-200 gallon or looking to buy one, just wondering if anyone else has ever done this??

I believe the law is 100 gallon max that you can trailer. I do it becasuse I use 93 octane and there is no place to get it on my lake. I got a trailer from lowes and bolted a fuel tank from tractor supply company to it then use a pump with 30 foot of hose and plug it into 110 outlet at dock. Its the perfect size for me, I use 100 gallons a weekend so I trailer one load every weekend. Make sure you mount the tank near the trailers axle so you don't exceed tounge weight. I have my boat on a lift but not sure the law on fueling the boat in that position??? Just be quick...

I have a old diesel tank from a Dresser TD25 crawler tractor. It is 130 or 140 gallons. I have it on a 4 wheeler trailer and do the same as everyone else. I have 100 foot of hose and a 110v pump running of an inverter in the truck.
Is it legal? Havn't been caught and if I am I will deny, deny, deny, even if caught in the act. I'll put my stuff away & when they drive off, I'll start over.

Guys,

I am imagining a distaster here if you ever get rear ended/or even side swiped.

Are you sure it is legal without carrying a permit?

Funny thing on labor day weekend I was pulling a trailer with 100 gallons of 93 octane with my GX 470, On the turnpike headed to the boat going 88 on a 65 limit. Got pulled over and got out of it with a warning. The state trooper was very nice and I no longer speed when pulling gas. No law against pulling 100 gallons.
