To Kaleb, re, hauling diesel and lack of a tank. I use 4 ea. 55 gallon metal barrels. I have hauled them both in the bed of my F450 and my F350 pickup, and on my two axle flatbed trailer.
In each case, I strap all 4 barrels together with two ea. two inch wide ratchet straps, which gives them decent stability both empty and full. The steel 55 gallon barrels have metal bungs which will seal up fuel tight, and I use a Harbor Freight 12 volt pump with 3/4 inch tubing to pump the fuel out of the barrels into my "Ranch tank".. I made up some stingers from schedule 40 PVC 3/4 inch pipe to stick down the barrel and stick into the Ranch Tank. I use clear poly tubing from Ace hardware from those to the pump, [lets me see if fuel is flowing] and alligator clamps and landscaping low voltage wire to run from the truck battery to the pump, with a 12V on/off switch at the pump.. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes to pump off 55 gallons, but it's a poor mans way to haul fuel, and have control over cost of tanks.. I picked up the 55 gal barrels used once [had engine oil original use] for $5 each. HTH..
