I use an old OB motor tank. Easy to change from truck to truck with a short 2" length of fuel line on carb. Can have filter in line too or one OB motor tank. Best thing is they have a primer bulb to fill up a dry carb with out cranking your tired battery down. you can run carb dry if you are not going to run the vehicle for a year or so (as I have several of those)that way there's no gas to go bad. I use exclusivly deep cycle batteries and move them from vehicle to vehicle. They don't have as much cranking amps (most of us don't have 440s) but they last longer and take more abuse (such as forgetting them out side lowcharged all winter) because they have heavier plates to take repeated complete drain downs. They have handles too. Plus with the screws on top of the posts they accomodate 12V add ons to my 24V vehicles such as tail lights or 12V fuel pumps. Works for me.
