A gallon of WVO is approximately 7 pounds. Including the weight of the 300 gallon tank, you are well over 2000 pounds.

HI ALL, oops! please excuse the misuse of the caps lock I am trying to locate other biodiesel enthusiasts in the charlotte, NC area, and have a question. Does anyone know the weight of a gallon (litre) of WVO? I have found a source for plastic tanks up to and exceeding 300 Gallons and I am curious if anyone else has ever tried to mount (or haul) such a tank in the bed of a mini pickup. I do have access to a small pickup truck, but the bed is hopelessly rusted thru. ( A victim of several great lakes area winters) I'd like to use this truck to collect WVO from my sources, but I don't want to install a tank that's too big for the springs. Can anyone advise of the largest tank I can install in a Chevy s-10 or similiar??? Also, if there are any others interested in forming a biodiesel co-op in the Charlotte, NC area, please feel free to drop me a line. Let's put our heads and resources together and see what we can do, Regards, Matt Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
