Fuel Tank with Pump
New Fuel Tank System has Two Tanks - 37 gallon tank (Regular) 17 gallon tank (Mixed). I Was going to mount onto a lawn truck, but sold the truck. Fuel System is new has mounting instructions with nozzels, gauges, and wiring system. Could be used in the back of a pickup truck or on a utility trailer. Paid $2500 for the Tank System From Super Lawn Trucks in the spring.
Asking $1000.00

that is true but here DOT wants them all tied down with caps on and it is $350 per can violation even if the vent cap is missing

If you are using zeroturn or walkbehind mowers how many times do you need to refuel them during the day??? Handheld equipment ???? If equipment is fueled before you leave the shop in the morning two gas cans are all you need all day and you still would not use a full can of mixed gas. These fuel tanks are nice but how much $$ are they making you in the end. Do your numbers and you will find it is a waste of money. Why are they being sold for $1500 less than purchase??

It should fit under any box truck if you have the space.

Wow,
I would guess that your P&L at the end of each season is well looked after. Don't think these tanks are going to work for your business ~ Good Luck W/ the Gas Cans.

Yes,
I could have it shipped, just need to check out the fees. But I would be willing to deduct from the selling price.

By using a fuel tank like this you can shop arround for fuel. Plus if you have the extra fuel on board you dont have to stop every day at the gas station. We can run 2 days on a full tank in the trucks but have to fill the mowers every day sometimes have to top off arround 4 pm if cutting large properties.
Nice tank setup free bump.
