Thanks Vince! This information is very helpful for us. Do you have any

idea how much freight might be for the smallest tan ks?

Thanks again,

Kavya:

I would figure $1.00/gallon for the large tan ks and $3.00/gallon

for the small tanks. Freight for the large tank wo uld be around

$5,000.00 within a 500 mile radius. Sorry, but thi s is the best I can

do at this time.

Any basic rule of thumb information (e.g., $/gal ta nk volume or $/mile

shipping distance) would be very helpful.

Thanks,
