Diesel secret fuel station built!

I made this fuel station to be self-contained so I can roll out to the truck to fill it and it only takes a corner of the garage

I don't have any oil yet ....but soon.... I first pour the oil through this strainer, ...

You see the valve on the right, tapped in at 6" off the bottom, then goes through this smaller strainer....cleanable...

Then to the 2 pumps dictated by DSE. in line....I hooked both electric lines together at the end so there is one plug-in.....

Then on to the 2 household filters....the first is a 5-15 micron filter, then on to a 1-5 micron carbon block filter.... But first you see the handle valves on the right side of the filters, this is a bypass valve I will use for mixing....then open for filtering..

The hose goes from the 2 filters to a bypass for the fuel filter....I close the valve to the FF then open the hose that goes up to the side of the barrel for mixing in bypass.....After, I close that valve then open the one to the FF and it goes to the opening in the top where I poured the oil in to filter everything.......

here is the hand pump for pumping into the truck when I roll it out....Has a 8' hose and a storage spot. Pumps 1 gallon for every 10 pumps of the handle. Has an adjustable pickup tube inside the barrel and I set it for 6" off the bottom so water and sed. can settle to the bottom.

You see the valve at the bottom of the barrel...this is to drain the water and crap every once in a while...
