Around here they only give .05 a gallon so if your detrmined I sure you could under cut them with very little effort if you had your own tank out for collection.
P.S. I run straight oil no bio processe no preheating. I mix 1 gallon of diesel to 4 gallons of oil and have a home made flitering system before it ever goes through the fuel pump. I have 2 tanks, I start on straight diesel and after warm up switch to oil, and before shut off I switch back to diesel to clear the injectors. Been doing this for 9 months with no problems, starts right up every time.

sure its .05 a gallon? around here i thought it was .09 a gallon and it turned out to be .09 a lb.

sucker tank is the only way to go in cold north east temps. My rest. dumps into 55 gal drums outside for me. I used the 12v pump till it got too thick. Unless you are in to moving heavy barrels you should consider the sucker.

There are plans on the web for sale.... I was able to build mine with a little research.

Tip: Find out where the propane companies send their tanks for reconditioning and contact them. I was able to pick up a 420# propane tank for $15 and the rest can be picked up at a local tractor supply, plumbing outfit......

Anyone that wants info it is pretty basic. email me wj.knight@yahoo.com
