The main reason to build a DIY gas station is the sheer convenience of it.
Even the wife & kids can easily refuel their own cars in the driveway now.

This frees me of the task where all I have to do is go to Costco once a
month with 10 empty jugs and that fuels all the cars for the next month.

The main question was how many of you have made your own gas station?
That's why I loved the most the helpful advice from Paul in Houston.

He knows what he's doing because he's done it. 
Which is the best kind of person to get advice from.

Has anyone else on this group made their own DIY home gas station?
What did you learn from your efforts that I can benefit from knowing?
