MB65E Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hi All, I have come across some nice Stainless storage tanks that I need to sell. They each have a really nice dolley assembly, painted white, mutiple threaded fittings, drains, and hatches. Canvas covers. I believe they have .25" walls. I have 4 units. All are in like new condition. They came off a yacht, the owner wanted below deck storage instead of above deck. They would be a great addition to a grass strip or remote operation where you'd need fuel. Bulk fuel rates are super cheap compaired to FBO prices. $3,500 each or Best offer. Let me know. Thanks!! -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful_Charlie Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Can I fit one of those in the baggage nay of a long-body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB65E Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks for looking. I know the market is small, but thought I'd try. I should have an eBay add set up shortly. It would be great if they went to avaition use. Thanks! -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmyfm20s Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Where do you get the bulk fuel from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTK Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I don't know how much of a discount one can get for 500 gallons or if its even possible for a non FBO to buy it. They usually want you to buy a lot more than that or the whole load. Then there's the regulation which I don't even know what it involves. And where would you store it. I can't see how the airport would allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The helicopter school that operates out of a few hangars next to me has an outdoor 500gal looking tank outside their hangar. Looks like an oil tank for a home furnace. haven't seen them fill it yet... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Where I used to live, there was a group of jumpers at a nearby grass strip without fuel. They bought a big elevated tank to refuel their 182, and drove avgas in 55-gal drums from our airport. They had a contracted price for the fuel, and stayed under the load limit where a CDL was required [200 gal? check your own state for the right limit]. It worked for them . . .
