[AT] Fuel cans and dispensing - ideas requested

[Lew Best]

Where do you find them?  I can see 2 other great uses for one I have an
old forklift with the hydraulic tank filler up about eye level & my hay
cutter leaks a little 140 wt oil & it takes forever to refill it in the
spring with about a quart of grease thru the small hole.

Once prices stabilize I got a tank that'll hold about 15-20 gallons from
the auction; gonna put a regular electric car fuel pump on it for
filling riding mowers, etc.  

I started keeping track of prices back in late July & today gas price
hit exactly half what it was on the first day I entered prices on the
spread sheet.  Diesel down slightly less.  I'm so tight I just put about
15 bux worth of gas or diesel in the vehicles now; will run a few days.
Next stop it's been significantly cheaper so filling up makes no since
these days.

These are still made, however they send to come apart with gasoline.  A 
cordless drill has brushes and could possibly start a spark pumping gas.

  I have done some of these things and so far have survived....
