They have a good airtight seal. That is the difference.

There are many fuel additives that are more effective in diesel fuel than seafoam. Do some research before you buy. Generally, you get what you pay for in this instance. Check out "Clear Diesel" made by Power Service for fuel storage stabilizing. Sta-bil also makes a stabilizer, but it is...

You shouldn't need any bracing for that fitting, but it won't hurt anything to add it. The structure looks pretty well self supported.

You can use the black iron pipe. Just be sure to keep the water content at a minimum or you'll have lots of rust to contend with. Stainless is best but pricey of course. I used galvanized and haven't seen any ill effect. Diesel is supposed to pick up the sulphur from the galvanized coating...

For the Goldenrod filter assembly, the tractor supply water block element is only a 30 micron. Napa carries a 10 micron water block element for it. The number is 4042 Gold.

I have a few o the aluminum 600 gallon fuel pods over here. If you want one I could probably sell it to you for less than $1 a gallon, which is the going rate for a used fuel storage tank.

Crawdaddy, have you put fuel in this tank yet? If not it would be a great idea to weld in a threaded bung in the bottom for draining off water.

If you go get the goldenrod fuel filter/ water separator from tractor supply it already filters down to 10 microns, which is good enough to go straight to your fuel tank with unless you are pumping WMO through it. Most commercial filling stations only filter down to 30 microns before the pump...

Can't help you there. I know free is free, but you have to find another filter base.

Crawdaddy, what size hose are you using? 3/4", 1", 1.5"?

That's terrible.

That looks like it should work just fine. You could eliminate one pair of filters if you just attached the first pair between the intake line and pump and just disconnect the input line from the tank and drop it in the barrel. Know what I mean? This is easier if you use all flexible hose and...

Definitely worth pre- filtering. You never really know where the fuel has come from, how many nasty tanks it has been transferred into and out of, and when the last time any of their filters were changed, much less the water content of the tanks that they use is. You can never filter too much...

It would be to your benefit to put the filters before the pump. Anything you can do to keep wear down on the pump components is great. As far as your downloading system, I'm not sure I follow you in your design approach. Are you wanting to run it through the same filters? Not sure how you would...

I'm sure that zep cleaner would cut the fuel and stuff well too but I have no experience with it. Crawdaddy, also note that if you want to you can load the tank up and bring it over here. We'll spend a full day on it and get it clean. I have a LOT of experience doing this.

You need to get 5 gallons of purple power or castr super clean and pour that in with some water. Let it sit overnight. The purple power has alkali in it which helps to clean off the rust and scale. Then drain and flush, and try to find some evapo-rust. It's about $20 a gallon, but that is the...
