Yes, I did mention in the email contact to him that they will not clean in the way that he had advised and that other tractor owners have said that using them could create engine problems and a lot of expense. We'll see. If he's honest...yes, I agree...but he may be honest and need the money...

I don't know if I can do that or not. No angle grinder for the first thing but it's something to keep in mind as I go forward. Meanwhile, I did email the seller of the barrels and asked if I could return them...I bought two. :-( Somehow I don't think he'll respond, but maybe. We'll see...

I never say "no" to saving money! Thanks.

Wow. We're talkin' "uptown" here. This forum is the place to be, that's for sure. People are so helpful and all the devices that I would not have discovered on my own. Thanks so much!

Having the 12V pump, then, would be like going to the gas station. Fill 'er up. :-) Thanks again for the tip and the link.

There are BXer's everywhere! Must be a good machine and I'm glad to have one. In fact, I can't wait until it gets here. Meanwhile, the fuel issue...I never would've dreamed that I could tear up around here for a month on so little fuel :-) Life is good. And, yes, I am going to look into...

Don't know how to get the lid off to use for anything else! :-) Thanks for helping.

Food grade barrel? Who knew?! There seems to be a lot of those for sale. Do you then have a hand pump of some kind? I have seen the fuel caddies but they seem to be a bit pricey but they do look nice.

Thank you, Greensvillejay, for your caution. I was beginning to come to that conclusion myself. The last thing I want to do is create engine problems. Lifting a full 5 gallon container is a bit of a stretch for me, too. Ok, it's not a bit of a stretch, it's a BIG stretch! :-) And, as I...

Wow, Fordtech86, I should've asked here first, I guess. I didn't want to be continually running to get fuel and had seen that people use these drums for storage. Then, too, there's the pricing and availability. Diesel right now seems quite inexpensive so that was another motivator. If I...

First post and it may be in the wrong place. This is not tractor related but it is. Well, anyway... I am in the process of getting ready for a used BX23 to be delivered in a few days. Since I've never used a diesel engine before, storing some fuel is one of my first tasks. There were some...
