The “Real” gas station used to carry 92 octane ethanol free. It seems every
time I went to fuel up, the octane dropped a point until now it is only 88
octane. Still not going to put alcohol into the SL.

our subdivision has homes with shallow depressions running along the
road with culverts under the driveways - for storm runoff - common
practice when something in the back of a pickup needs unloading is to
backup so the open tailgate touches the side of the depression where it
starts going
Curley,
I'll buy the pump. How do you want to be paid?
What is the inlet/outlet pipe size? [doesn't matter, I'll take it
regardless.]

Actually, the US went Metric long before there was an SAE system. Ask Model T
owners about wrenches, for instance.
The US Army went metric in 1911 when the system was officially adopted. The
Navy stayed inch based for a very long time even though there wasn't much of a
Navy in 1911.

Seriously, there are a few ways to get a drum off a truck (or onto it)
Lay the drum down and roll it off a plank that bridges the tailgate to
the ground
use a barrel sling and a hoist
put it on a pallet and use a forklift
Get four big dumb swedes to pick it up.
Use, or build, a loading dock.
Kick!

The nice thing about 8#/gal is that you never estimate low and you can use the
old "A pint is a pound the world around."

Looks like my memory of flight training, (geez, has it been 40 years
already?), is the fuzzy part - time really does fly. You are 100%
correct - bravo to your memory! Not fuzzy at all...

I haven't used one but it has always
impressed me as being unusable in the real
world because of too much friction and not
enough strength of materials.

We can't get 87 octane no ethanol around here, but we can get 89 octane for
about a dollar a gallon more than 93 octane gasahol. (yes, $4/gallon for

That's what I was wondering about. If I buy one, I'll put plywood under the
barrel.

I believe a full 55 gal barrel might exceed it's structural limits, but
only because the rim of the barrel would be the only contact area vs the
weight load.
It might work if you set the barrel on a piece of plywood to distribute the
load beyond the rim of the barrel.
With a load of dirt or rock,
Has anyone seen one of these in action?

Would it work to slide a full 55 gal. barrel from the rear of the bed onto
the tailgate?
