Wanted something more compact for my fuel transfer tank so I came up with this. I still have to install some cleats and eye bolts to trap the tank and keep it from sliding. Need to use up a good portion of the 50 gal in there before I can drag it over. Buying culled pressure treated means the screws and wheels cost more than the lumber. That being said I have around $25 in this project.

Looks good man (y) ….especially for the price.:)

Are you going to use a “ratcheting strap” to anchor it down?

Boy talk about making a post and ignoring it. I am planning on putting a couple 2x2 cleats to hold the tank in the center and adding some eye hooks to wratchet strap it down when transporting for fuel. When it is on the barn floor, straps would be off. Still working my 30 gal Arksen tank to get it empty and out of the barn to a new home. At that point I’ll start on the new tank and by the time it needs fuel we are down from and arm and leg plus first born to just a leg and a few fingers.
