    Huh. I've had 6 of these in a 10x10 shed for over a year and never noticed one hint of gas fumes. Haven't had any problems with the gas itself either. Maybe it's because I almost never gets over 85 degrees up here? Maybe if they get hot they vent?

    Scepter MFC. No longer imported into the U.S. thanks to California, but still available if you do some surfing of the web.

I have a gas tractor, multiple pieces of equipment, 4 wheelers etc that take gas.

    If you are going to dump them in your truck every few months, I wouldnt add anything.
    i agree. I keep 20 gallons on hand too and use stabil and when I remember to. Just changed my 9-11 month stash out into my work truck,,, It still did 70 while loaded no problem, also still got 10mpg,,, No proplem!

    Paid $0.96 a gallon the other day after my $0.50 King Soopers discount. Can't remember the last time I paid less than a dollar a gallon.

    It's an awesome time to stock up. I have 30 gallons that I got at a "good" price of $2.50 or so a gallon. Rotating it into the vehicles feels weird, like I'm using more expensive gas. Yeah, I'm retarded.

    These go on sale every so often, http://www.sportsmansguide.com/produ...liter?a=984598. Need a spout sold separately. I have 5 and rotate through them. It is a bit of a pita, but I like knowing I can extend the range on my FJ in case ...

    I keep 15-20 gallons of gas (enough to almost double my mileage with my truck just in case). I rotate using in lawn mower and now my new wood chipper. When we purchase gift cards for Christmas gifts and get fuel points I will rotate through my truck at that time to refresh the stash.

    During the warm months i run recycled fuel. 80% wmo (sometimes wvo) 20% regular unleaded. My cost is about 33 cents a gallon currently i could cut it but my generator is down so i have to use the extension cord to run my filtration. Diesel is about $1.70 right now.
