The cost of purchasing a proper fuel tank along with all other cost required for storage of fuel will far out weigh your dream to save a few cents... Once again no offense but something about this post is off... the numbers you are talking about are way to high for personal use, !00,000 gallons???? in your last post however the first post states 10 to 20 thousand?? either way you look at it, it would be years before you would recover any savings..
good luck..

Ok let me try to explain myself completely. First sorry for my bad English. I will have some cash for investment in mid-2014. Now I am in stage of making plans. I already have 5 acre land in industrial zone California. (worth about 600k maybe little more).
I plan to buy for start maybe 3 or 4 brand new trucks (150k each) and each truck will have 150 gallon tank. Then I would hire drivers for those trucks. Also I would hire 2 persons (brother and his wife) for dispatch and other finance job. They are outside US but so salary's will be really low
I will have to invest in some phones and VOIP systems.
I was thinking to buy also fuel storage tank on my yard so drivers can fill tank on 'site'. Tank would be in start for maybe 100,000 gallons or more but until I got more trucks maybe no sense to invest in 100,000 gallons of fuel so I would start with maybe 20k gallons or so. I was thinking something like this

I just wonder if there is economic sense to do something like that or not. I don't know how buying from wholesale works in US but I will try to investigate for next 6 months at least before I jump in something.
Any idea?
