Interesting standby fuel tank I saw the other day

So I was cruising out in the desert in my 'ol Nissan truck the other day and came across some equipment staged near a pipeline. I saw this fuel tank with a generator hooked up to it and thought "Man that would be cool to have for my 802A". Well, I got home and googled the name and came up with some interesting stuff! Apparently these are bullet and impact resistant. They've done tests with up to 500lb of TNT at 40'! And apparently someone flew a C130 into one.... I didn't bother asking for a price lol

I'm thinking you may not want to know the price... NEW, but... many of them have sold at auction really cheap, sometimes as little as $0.50 per gallon of capacity, often times with a dispensing pump and filter setup included. Some even end with no bids at all. I'm thinking the issue is probably the weight. Being multi-walled with a reinforced concrete shell they are probably extremely heavy, so probably a logistical nightmare to transport.
