What happens here
Fabricate a sturdy metal stand designed to elevate the 55-gallon drum horizontally. This elevation is crucial for the gravity-fed dispensing system. The stand must be robust enough to safely support the full weight of the drum filled with fuel. Once the stand is complete, secure the 55-gallon drum to it. Then, install a fuel hose with a dispensing nozzle to the bottom outlet of the drum, ensuring it's positioned for easy access for filling gas cans.
Goal: Create an elevated, stable base for the drum and set up gravity-fed fuel dispensing.
