What happens here
Begin the project by acquiring a suitable metal barrel or small horizontal fuel tank. The tank seen in the video is custom-made and painted white. If using a standard drum, it should be thoroughly cleaned of any previous contents and prepared for fuel storage according to safety guidelines. Apply a durable, fuel-resistant paint to the exterior of the tank, such as white as shown, to protect it from the elements. Finally, affix a clear and prominent label, such as the "MIXED FUEL ONLY" sticker visible, to unequivocally indicate the tank's contents and prevent accidental contamination or misuse.
Goal: Customize and label the fuel tank for mixed fuel storage.
