Fuel tanks at your shop?
« Back To Roofers TalkWe just got a diesel tank for the the forklift. I have been buying deisel and paying the road tax because it wasn't all that much. With the price down right now I figured at least I could lock in the fuel costs for next year for that equipment. I figur>>>
OS, Yes. I'm seeing some things starting to shake in the shingle market even though there's still huge demand just north of us from the last major storm that ripped across the KY/Ohio rivers.
Most of the standard colors(Blk, WW) are about 5-7 bucks>>>
I looked at it but around here there are too many environmental concerns. EPA and the Army Corp. make it almost impossible to put a tank in around here.>>>
Avoid putting the tank in the ground. There's no end to the headaches that will create.>>>
Yes, putting them in the ground in virtually prohibitive.
I have a fuel island with a 500 gal gas, 1000 gal diesel, a propane filling station and a 250 gal ag diesel.

(One fillup deserves another) eeeeeeewwwwwwwjeez woody lol>>>
We don't have any of the above facilities here, but the service side is only three trucks, the foamers are all over the country and use this place when they need a re-up and the shingle crews are subs. The propane filling station would be nice as we have>>>
Old School, if you are not running that forklift on the road , get red fuel, it's at least .45 cheeper on the gal. Plus red fuel still has all the sulfur in it , a key ingredient in the lubrication system of the diesel engine. All the new road diesel jus>>>

We got a 1,000 gal skid tank, which is on "SKIDS" go figure. I mounted some 6 x 6's under it so it is completely above the ground. If there is any spilage it will be easy to spot. I asked about the higher sulfer content diesel as I had heard the sa>>>

If you get pulled over for a traffic violation in a diesel truck, most staties will have a cotton swab that they will insert into your fuel tank.

My brother has one and I have the other. We decided to get road fuel in mine and off road in his. That way I have access to fuel for my lift and he has access to road fuel too. Not worth the risk IMHO>>>
