Click HERE to see the chart. Useful information if you're still deciding. I purchased an inexpensive gas portable generator and plan on installing a tri fuel kit.

The good news is that I found a local fuel company that will sell me premix 87 octane gasoline (no ethanol!) for just a few cents over the regular E10 mix. They also sell, for $30, a brand new 55 gallon drum for storing said fuel. Alright! So now I just have to figure out where I should store...

Is there any reason i should not use 55 gal. drums to store fuel? been locking for something other than 5 gal cans and dont want to spend $1000s for a bulk tank. are there any precautions i should take to vent/prevent fire ect?

Anyone stocking up on fuel? If so, how/ where are you storing it?

Well, I guess I am done with Sta-Bil. I've used it in some things from time to time, mostly lawnmower gas, and used Pri-G on the boat motors, generators, pressure washers, etc. The stuff that really sits up a long time. Anyways, today I was visiting with my small engine repair mechanic and he...

I would like to store about 25 gallons of gas some place where I can rotate it every so often, but I really don't want to store it in my garage because it is attached. I don't want my house to burn down and don't know of any way to safely store it. I have steel cans, and was trying to think of...

Hey guys - I have a couple of questions about storing Kerosene. I have a kerosene heater that I keep for emergencies, and have always kept a 5 gal jug of Kerosene in the garage. I'm planning to expand to 3-4 jugs and with my new shed thought it would be safer stored in there instead of in the...
