I'd use it, once I know for sure that it IS diesel fuel. I would want to know where it came from though and how long it's been sitting. I'd also check to make sure that it IS in fact 110 gallons.

In inches ... LxWxH divided by 231 will tell you how many gallons is in there.

(Why doesn't my computer have a divided by key? Does yours? )

when setting up a division problem mafair, do it like this : 10/2=5 / is a divide sign.

Actually, you DO have a divide sign on the computer.

Press and hold ALT while typing in 0247 then release ALT and you get ÷



I found out about it here: http://tlt.psu.edu/suggestions/inter...s/codealt.html

That's a really cool site, however it wouldn't work for me. I'm on a laptop.

I think those totes hold 250 gal. Doesn't look like over 100 gal. If you have no place to put it and have to buy the tote, your profit is gone and you have a disposal problem.

were not all suckers are we?
first off youre gonna have to buy the container, unless you have a 110 gal tank somewhere. whats the fuel cost for you to drive there. also once you find out its some homemade B20 and your engine takes a big ol fat dump on you, what are you gonna do then... oh and if you buy the container, what the hell are you gonna use it for in the future?

If it's offroad diesel it'll be red in color and if you get checked and they find it in your truck on highway use, big fine. However I don't know of anyone whos ever been checked. I have a 200 gal. tank for offroad diesel I use for my tractor and cat, and I won't say I've never been tempted but to take a chance like that to save 40 cents a gallon just doesn't seem worth it to me. Well, maybe if filling my dump truck.
