I don't have any experience with this set up but I don't see how it is better. I get that humping 5 gal of diesel gets hard, I do that as well. But instead you would have to figure out how to get 14 gal into that container and move that weight around instead. I need to buy diesel so each time, I go to the gas station and get it. Then lift it back into the truck to bring home. That is heavy enough, can't imagine doing that with 14 gal.
i ain't rite

while the theory of the 14 gallon transfer tank is good, the delivery is not. they are made out of chinesium and quality control is non existent. the nozzle is extremely cheap and break very fast. the connection where the hose goes into the tank is also another fast break point.
for the price they charge for one of those 14 gallon tanks, you could pick up a used 100 gallon in bed tank on craigs list, or facebook marketplace.
