Gasoline storage

[zimagold]

I store 20gal in steel jerry cans and rotate every 18 months. I rotate 10gal at a time to avoid having all 20gal bad if something doesn't store well. I try to time rotation for spring/fall when outside temperature is at a middle range. I've been doing this for ~8yrs without issues.

I started with Sta-bil but switched to PRI-G after some more research.

I've got six old school steel jerry cans that I think I'm going to get rid of if anyone is interested. I like them, but they all seep a little at the bottom seam and it makes my garage smell like gas. Five are very clean inside, and one is full of dust and rust and hasn't been filled in years. I investigated sweating the outsides or pouring a filler into the inside, but I think I'll just pass them along to someone that wants to do that and buy the plastic race fuel jugs that Dave posted.

Any competent radiator repair shop will fix them.

If anyone visits Oklahoma or Texas, these were the best price I found for the fuel jugs. Atwood's, $20 per. Grabbed a few while I was down there last week. Each includes a nozzle.

Bucee's has similar ones for $30

These will be nice for the RZR and camping, but I think I will get some more steel for around the house.

I just sold all my steel ones so I could buy plastic ones. Are you not supposed to use them for gasoline because they aren't California bullshit, or because of the type of plastic?

No, technically, they're fine for gas, they are labeled "not for fuel" because if they were labeled for fuel, they would have the bullshit spring loaded spill all over your shit nozzle. These plastic ones are great.
I prefer the steel for long term because the one I have is pretty darn air tight. It is the only one I can travel with in the cabin of a car. I just dont want the smell, never had a plastic jug not stink in an enclosed area.

I was looking hard at yours, but I wouldn't be able to resist fixing the leak, likely having an oopsie in the process.

I really liked them, but the seeping stunk up the garage. Other than that they were fine.
