Diesel Anyone?


What it takes to keep a group of machines going is either a tanker truck coming to fill the machines daily or your own station. When the day gets to be 16 hours long, the tanker truck coming once isn’t enough. To solve this problem we have a 5,000 liter (1321 US Gallons) tank to service the guys whenever their machines are thirsty. Cost for the tank was about 4,000 Euros ($5,400 USD), and to fill it is another 5,000 Euros ($6,725 USD). Diesel costs about a Euro a liter, or $5.40 (USD) per gallon.

We’ll see how long it takes until we have to refill the beast.
