Portable Gas Tank With Front-Mounted Tool Box
 ✖  |
I wish I had made this portable gas tank with front-mounted tool box years ago. It's very handy when we're doing fieldwork - I just pull it out to the field and leave it there. It saves a lot of tractor riding back and forth just to get gas. The tank is a standard 500-gal. fuel tank that mounts directly over the axle, which came off a pickup. An inexpensive hand-cranked pump mounts on top of the tank.
The front-mount tool box is 3 ft., 8 in. wide. It's made from plywood with an angle iron frame. It slopes to the front. The rear angle iron uprights are 21 in. long. The front ones are 19 in. long. The lid hinges backward.
The frame of the trailer is 8 ft. long and 3 ft., 8 in. wide. The tongue is made from 3-in. I-beam. (Bayard Young, 18172 Youngs Lane, Elkwood, Va. 22718 ph 540 399-1438)
