200 gallons should fall within the payload capacity of the Dak,
depending on the weight of the tank itself, but you wouldn't be
able to haul much else and stay under the rating - maybe a load
of pillows or something. ;-)
And of course, you wouldn't need to keep the tank full all the
time - you could just haul around 50 extra gallons or so, until
you went on a trip or gas went on sale. :-)
