You gonna haul this trailer back and forth with 300 gallons of gasoline on the roads and highway? If so, watch out for cops. That is very illegal. Tried that once. You would not believe the DOT regs for hauling tanks of gasoline. Now diesel tanks have very few regs.

Find a local fuel distributor and have them bring the fuel to your location, hell on pulling 300 gal on a utility trailer! Got a 250 and a 300 at the house, much easier!

Not a good idea. Gas weighs a little over 6 lbs per gallon. 250 gallons is around 1,600 lbs and 300 gallons is around 2,000 lbs. I wouldn't trust an el cheapo trailer to haul gas with.

have you considered just using something like one of these?

sounds like a whole lot less hassle then a trailer even if you have to make a second trip to refill it.

Big Tex sells small ones that are good for fuel tanks. My dad just bought one for a 200 gallon tank he keeps in his hangar. 600 bucks with tax and license, and it's a good quality trailer. Also a good size for a 4-wheeler

Pumpelly's should give you a tank if you go over there, and if you fill up at bulk plant you can usually get gas for about 30 cents cheaper if you are buying 200-300 gals.

I don't think those tote tanks are fuel rated.
