I've put just over 200 gallons in two times now.
The big advantage to such a large tank is that I
can fill up where fuel is less expensive; its
usually 10-15 cents less per gallon in Georgia
than Florida. I drove from Orlando to Houston and
got fuel in Houston, some of the cheapest fuel
prices in the nation. Plus the 12.5kw diesel
generator will run for a month on a tank of fuel
if I need it to.

I think you would be suprised at the amount of
fuel most trucks and busses are carrying around.
You find out quickly when you go to a truck stop
and use the high speed pumps that deliver about a
gallon of fuel a second; it doesn't take long to
drop $300 at the Flying J.
