For real bush ops, that container won't really work. You can't roll them around single handed; roll them off the back of a truck or aircraft; roll them into storage location; and roll them back again to the aircraft. You always need the motorised caddy. That's more to carry and go wrong.

It would work well, however, at aerodromes with hangars, sheds, power, road access etc. Although for some transport ops and associated quality overlays, determining security and age of fuel / fuel integrity might be a show stopper. Drums, by contrast, are dated, and unopened.
