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 W.
