Default Gas Transportation

Hey all. Not too technical a question, but has anyone come up with a better way to transport gas other than fillling up the 5 gallon plastic cans? I'm thinking of going to a higher octane engine and will have to transport the refuel each weekend. I thought that there were 50 gallon trolley-type cans with pumps, but can't find them anywhere, including the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check Overtons website for "Gas Caddy". A friend of mine bought one for his ski boat on a private lake. About a 30 gal tank on wheels with manual transfer pump.

I think you can find gas caddies at Graingers or McMaster Carr..... they are nationwide.

You can try US Plastics. http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/default.asp
They sell all kinds of plastic stuff including fuel tanks. Maybe they'll have what you need.

If you have a pickup truck you can install a tank and pump in the back. I am going to get a 100 gallon tank for car racing and to fill the boat.

Transferflow.com

They have refuelling tanks as well as extended range tanks that automatically top off your truck tank.
