Just thought I'd share my latest bio project. The best part is no more schlepping 5 gallon containers to fill my truck!

Metered Rand 12v pump, 25 micron junk filter, 2 micron final. Eventually I'll place a gauge and a looped return relief, but for now, this is a huge step in convenience.

Very nice, I do the same thing with a 15 gallon drum but anything bigger gives me problems in the soft gravel I have to go over. I would go with wider wheels but I have to go thru a narrow slot.

Thanks. That means a lot coming from you both. One minor improvement I will make is, once I find 3/4"ID bio resistant hose locally, replace the pump and filter hoses. (Right now it's that reinforced clear stuff from Lowe's). The pump handle hose is fine, albeit a little stiff. It came with the pump/meter set up. If either of you have any good leads on this, that would be helpful.

I've used two different types of braided hose; one was vinyl and the other PVC. The braided vinyl holds up much better. It's been on the tractor fueling station for 3 years now and is still supple, and this is after passing 2 full winters (going on 3) full of biodiesel freezing and thawing. It sweats a little but the price can't be beat.
