I was thinking the tank, but just saw some 30 gallon blue drums that might do the trick.  I could get two of those and be set for a bit.  Might even be able to use the pump I just ordered as well.  Must say a bit nervous as I dont know how those blue tanks would vent.

I would be cautious about transferring fuel without a grounding strap to take care of the static electricity While using any type of a battery or electric motor,

I've never thought of that but you are probably right.  Not sure how to fix that issue other than being careful.

Nothing to worry about until the fireball shows up.

When’s the last time anyone has ever heard of a jerry can exploding while using a transfer pump?

I can’t imagine living life with that kind of fear.

14 sticks
Just one gallon of gasoline is equivalent to 14 sticks of dynamite in explosive force. Vapors from gasoline are also dangerous!

This is like the neighbor up north who moved a 1500 gallon propane tank half full of propane with his tractor and a mini excavator down the road to his place. He buried it but didn't throw the anode bags in the ground.
