I think he did mention several answers in his second post...

We currently use the '45 UK gallon (200 litre) drums in nets' option to transport diesel to remote locations every few weeks - so a regular task.
I've flown to many different locations with a variety of tanks and barrels to support radio-relay stations and emergency backup generators. If you have a holdingtank at this location a simple IBC tank is doing the job and is cheap, but you should not keep fuel stored over time in sunlight due to risk of growing diesel bacteria.

Trailer engineering and Fuelproof both has a variety of tanks of various size that can be flown.
