I'm not sure about all legalities if packaging the fuel, but to fill it up =
and not pay the bulk of the taxes is all you have to do is bring it over to=
a truck stop and make sure you fill it with the reefer fuel, not tractor f=
uel. Reefer does not have road tax on it.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Diesel Fuel for engine operation
Here is the problem...
I have a bunch of diesel tractors/equipment/and bull dozer that I use on th=
e farm here. Instead of paying over the road taxes and filling 5 gal conta=
iners every time, I used to have an 230 gal oil tank that I put home heatin=
g oil in and used that. It worked for the first 20 years I was here.
The new fuels seem to develop algae very quickly. I've tried additives, bu=
t I still have the problems.
So, I'm going to ditch the oil tank (it's too hard to clean after any algae=
bloom). I was thinking of just using a 55 gal drum. I also don't use tha=
t much fuel so I don't need it sitting around.
Here are the questions...
-first, what fuel is the most stable for the longest? Home heating oil, of=
f road diesel, or something else?
-second, will most heating oil places fill a 55 gal drum? Do I need any sp=
ecial markings?
-third, if I have to bring it to them to get it filled, is there any specia=
l requirements to transporting it?
-fourth, am I missing a better option?
Thanks
