What do you transport it in? I know I can buy a fuel bladder and plan on doing that but I was trying to find a 30gal gas can and can't seem to locate one. Any recomendations?

Well, assuming your talking about a portable gas tank....I think the problem is 30 gallons of gas would weigh 180lbs (just the gasoline, not including the weight of the tank). Most portable tanks like that are on a dolly because of the weight.

Here's a 28 gallon:

Search google for "gas caddy" and you'll get better results.

Yeah I was thinking maybe 2 fifteen gal tanks. I am just trying to find some local so I don't have to get them shipped.

I'm useless then because I'm in the north east ;?

Yeah, I would like to get one of those but it is not in the budget this year. I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative.

Try Jeg's the race car place. They have all kinds & sizes of containers and the prices are reasonable.
