Beer keg fuel tanks
I asked this before, but since the search option isn't working, I wanted to ask again. Has anyone built tanks like this or know where or if you can buy these tanks? Here is a pic of a set on an old ford. If i had to have them built, would it be very difficult to set my 72 up for dual tanks?

it's going alright here bud. The truck is moving VERY slow, but everything else is good. I just e-mailed Labatts and asked if they have kegs for sale. I guess the only thing you would need is a baffle inside, a hole for the filler neck, sending unit , fiel line and....???

Ya he did some cutting to it to get all the lines and such in to it, but I have not seen the truck in like 2 years. So I can not remember. I will go out and see if he left the truck at his parents house if so i will take some pics. Landon

I have access to a couple dozen kegs, but I imagine shipping wouldn't make it feasable. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Kind of a novel idea!

I tried to estimate via the UPS website. It tells me "Package exceeds the maximum size total constraints of 130 inches (length + girth, where girth is 2 x width plus 2 x height)". I don't know how to get around the system for an estimate. |

They are considered a half barrel. They are the same keg you would get when you go to your favorite liquor store for the "big" party. They are 16 gal. I guessimate the height to be 30-36" x 24" or so wide. I don't have one around to measure right now or I would.

Landon,
They are full kegs, not pony. Pony's are 8 gal (considered 1/4 barrel) and the 16 gal kegs are 1/2 barrels. |

Why wouldn't you just get kegs and then "empty" the contents and fail to return them? I expect there is a deposit but the contents are good! ![]()

They make aluminum and stainless kegs. I hade a 28 international milk truck in college that we used a 15.5 gallon stainless keg on the sloped front roof for gravity gasoline. Used stainless because no-one knew how to weld a fitting onto a aluminum tank.

Just go down to the Store where you rent the keg, drink all the beer out of it, and then just don't go back to get your deposit back. If I get one here in So Cal. its like 60.00 which included the tap.

You can just purchase kegs and taps at certain liquor stores, its not that expensive. One of my friends owns two of her own kegs, Natty and MGD (I think). Keg beer is so great cuz it's so cheap. She throws a lot of parties too, and passes around a collection cup, to recoup the costs FAST.
