how do you go about making a pressurized tank i need to deliver diesel fuel through a 1/4 pipe straight up 80ft. instead of trying to find a pump i thought maybe the pressurized theory would work just as well any suggestions . thanks RICK

35psi just to make the lift plus more to get flow and overcome pipe friction. If just one wall is 4ft x 6ft and 50psi is applied. There will be 86.4 tons of thrust pushing that wall out. Now consider the combined force on four walls and two ends.

Years back I put a regulater and guage setup on a 275 gallon fuel tank in a basement and attached a garden hose to a tank on a the truck. We emptied barrels at work this way and thought this tank being much heavier would work. ----- ---well-----glad I stayed in the basement as I started the air compressor , as about 15 psi the tank made a crumpling sound and I shut the air off like VERY fast. The tank stayed wrinkled and I can tell you don't even think about applying to a fuel tank. I lucked out. The propane tank would be much better, but I think a small pump would be much better. Shouldn't need an explosion proof with fuel oil if its out of a building, but I AM NOT SURE of this.

How big of tank do you need and how much volumetric flow? You are going to need something like 30 PSI just to get it up 80 feet. First thing that comes to mind is to use an old air compressor tank or, possibly, a propane tank.
