I looked at those gas caddies, and it just seems like more hassle than it's worth. They weigh 100lbs or so fully filled, so you need to get the loader tractor or skidsteer to get it out of the truck. They are gravity feed so they need to be placed up high unless you want to develop carpal tunnel from squeezing the stupid handle.
You've got a similar situation with any larger tank. Most people don't want it permanently in the back of the truck and 55 gallons of gas is around 350lbs, so it's not like you're going to just pick it up and set it on the ground. You need a machine to move it, which takes time.
As far as the legality of it, New York State limits you to 20 gallons in approved containers before you get into DOT jurisdiction. My coworker researched it for his boat, as he wanted to get out of paying the outrageous marina prices.
That said, what's legal and what you can get away with are two different things. You have to make a decision as to what you are comfortable with. Some people don't like the idea of risking the farm, others believe themselves to be immortal and untouchable.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
