Gasoline storage

[thvigil11]

This is what we use at the volunteer fire stations.

Much of the smaller equipment gets pulled out and tested every 6 months, but unless its a busy fire season, very little regular use. We also keep cans on the trucks of both the regular and premix, then you have no evap loss. Once a fire season starts up, we will switch to pump fuel and mix as necessary, but at the end of a season we tend to drain out and put this stuff in till the next year.

Its pricey, (about 20 bucks off the shelf) but if you find a hardware store that carries it, you can negotiate to buy in bulk. They have gallon cans of the regular stuff. I think our cost comes out to be about 9.50 to 10 a gallon. We may be getting a fire discount as well.

Picked up 4 of these a couple of years ago. They are great - no EPA nozzle to deal with, easy to fill and empty.

Add a hose nozzle, or make your own

Not the cheapest option, but worth the price.

There's a couple of things that you need to address with fuel storage. The first is oxidation, which can be limited by making sure the storage containers are as full as possible, allowing for expansion, and using a stabilizer of some kind. The second is water absorption, which can be addressed by using non-ethanol fuel and ensuring the storage container is as impermeable as possible. Generally, larger volumes will degrade slower than smaller ones. Good fuel in 55 gallon drums, stabilized and stored 95% full in relatively stable temps, can be usable 10+ years down the road.

All my wheeling friends have moved away from steel Jerry cans and use exactly what Dave posted above.

I'm pretty intrigued by the NPR fuel tank idea.

The race cans with two handles molded into them are slightly better than the above but they're both much better than the rest of the market for pouring. They don't stack well though.

Also as tfog said the permeability of the plastic is worse than metal.

Maverik stations have an ethanol-free pump, usually runs 30-40 cents more than ordinary decaf.

I put that stuff in the bikes.

Murphy stations too, at least at Parker & Iliff......

Littleton UNBRANDED 91 Chatfield Marina 303-791-5555 11500 North Roxborough Park Road 2018-12-07

Going to be tough to drive out on the dock to get your gas.
Also, the Marina doesn't re-open until June 1 and gas will not be available until June 15 according to their last update letter.
