Morning all,

finally need to seek your help on a couple of things (seperate threads) rather than just cause trouble by responding.

this second issue is the use of diesel generators....

We have a couple of sites with backup gennys that are diesel powered. We have diesel tanks and pumps, which are "conveniently" on the otherside of the site. So currently, handyman on site would have to fill jerry cans and walk back and forth to fill. Can't get a tanker to deliver straight to generator tank because quantity is too small...

I understand the issues, and have my own thoughts on what we need to do, but wanted to open it up to you guys. How would you all control it? (moving the tanks is likely to be >5000). Haven't found any decent sized portable containers that look the part...
