That was the only drawback Dad had w/his '53 SM LPG-it always had to come home to fuel. He'd fill up the 1,000 gal house tank & the 500 gal tank that he used to heat his hog houses & fill the tractor from one or the other. Both had "bottom" legs in them. He used to buy LP for as little as $0.10 per gallon when he took more than a 1,000 gal at a time. He didn't have a "portable" LP tank on wheels, although the local well driller that ran his well drilling rig (both BIG Buda engine that ran the rig & the truck engine that ran the mud pump) on LP. He bought a new anhydrous nurse tank, filled it w/LP & just pulled it from job to job behind the rig. His son still uses the same rig-it was new in 1960. Last time I talked to him, he was thinking of overhauling the Buda that ran the rig, for the first time ever. IH truck engine was still running strong. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
