I remember carrying an upright 55 gallon drum with a drum pump screwed in to the bung hole. You pulled the pickup or the tractor next to each other, inserted the hose,  then cranked the pump.

Fuel oil dealers used to deliver agricultural gasoline to your storage tank at your house.


Carl Baker or Kim Lessor one or the other an AT List Member (hodor at warmrock.net); So, umm - now?  Tesla's truck is $10k less than a comparable F-150.  Chevrolet's Bolt (car) is about $10k more than a comparable gas car.  My Nissan Leaf charges in the 5 seconds it takes me to plug it in when I get home.  I don't have to stand there and watch it charge.  I also refuse to accept less convenience and less utility for higher cost.  Which is why I'm converting my fleet from gas to electric as quickly as I can afford it (not very quickly).  Honestly, I'm keen to convert my old Ford tractor to electric.  I'm tired of schlepping gas from the gas station for it.  Or roading it to the gas station to fill it up.  Which I should probably do today - a storm is expected....
