Loader-Mounted Fuel Tank Saves Time And Money

Loader-Mounted Fuel Tank Saves Time And Money ENERGY Miscellaneous LeRoy Momper Fredonia Wis used to put diesel fuel in his tractor with 5-gal containers The job became a lot easier after he built a loader-mounted gravity-fed 85-gal fuel tank He used 10-ga steel to build the tank and fabricated a pair of “quick tach” loader brackets which he welded to the tank Also added to the tank were 2 ball valves a Goldenrod water-block/17-micron filter a 20-ft hose with nozzle a 2-in filler pipe a screened vent and a drain The total weight of the tank loaded with fuel is 850 lbs Momper says his portable fuel tank has a lot of advantages “Because the system is gravity fed there was no extra cost for a hand pump or an electrical pump with wiring The tank can be easily transported with the tractor to a remote location and I can let it stand on site until I need to refill the tractor or other equipment Also it eliminates the need for another person and vehicle to deliver fuel which saves time and money ” He says it’s important to choose a filter that’s designed to work with a gravity-fed system Contact: FARM SHOW Followup LeRoy Momper 215 Lawrence Street Fredonia Wis 53021 ph 414 331-2093; leemary66@gmail com
