Watch your DOT regs.
Any fuel container that has a total weight of 600 pounds or more including the storage vessel is required to have plackards and you have to have a hazmat on your license to move it unless it is hooked into your primary fuel system.
In other words, Diesel at 7.0 to 7.3 lb/US gallon in a 100 gallon fuel transfer tank (700 to 730 pounds) in the bed of a pickup is required to have the plackards and a hazmat endorsement, same goes for your idea of a trailer.
Other than that the City might have a problem with the storage of hazardous materials.
Make a few phone calls to the city.
Also your friends Insurance on the property could be dropped or at least his rates will go through the roof.
Good luck

Hello everyone,
I'm starting college this August at the University of Illinois. I've been playing around with biodiesel for the past year and now I'm trying to set up a 200 gallon batch reactor. The only problem is, I have nowhere to do it. I've been collecting parts for a couple of months. I already have a great reaction tank and a bunch of 55 gallon drums to use for washing. I have recently started thinking about putting everything on a trailer and just taking it to school with me. I know somebody who has a large parking lot near campus and is willing to let me use a few spaces. Does anyone have any ideas?
Will
