Call Stuart at mann lake and have a chat.
 
We just got a semi from him (again).  We just use four 1250 gallon
agricultural poly tanks (We have 3.6 per semi after dilution) and
fill them with 6 inches of  water before receiving the load.
 
Filling from the pumper truck stirs it up, and at lower
concentration, granulation is no longer a problem.
 
The bottom of the tank tends to be bit thicker unless you do some
additional stirring, but we store it outside and it *snowed* the day
before yesterday!
 
 
 
Regards
 
Allen
