Yep I saw that last night. For $1 you can't go wrong
That was me who asked the fuel type question.

I just had a brain wave, as we have copius amounts of 25L red plastic boat tanks I could make a bracket up underneath and fit two or three of them in front of the axle. Then I could connect a fuel line to each one (one at a time with the quick connects) and pump (with an inline 12v fuel pump) straight into the Disco fuel filler.
This gets pretty much the same outcome yet they are still self contained jerry cans. Just need to remove them from the trailer to fill them.

Last time I went to Fraser I had about 160L of petrol in the back of the ute in jerry cans and boat tanks. Stored the lot in the laundry at Kingfisher Bay.

From memory in Vic at least, Dangerous Goods legislation and placarding applies to dangerous goods above a certain volume. For example oxygen tanks in an Ambulance don't technically require placarding due to the volume stored, though you'll find they still put the little stickers on the cabinet. I don't know what the volumes for fuel are, but the volumes we're talking about may not be covered by legislation.
