Don’t see a lot of posts about storing various types of fuel so I wanted to start a convo.

I like to keep 40 gals of regular unleaded, 10 gals of kerosene, and 100 lbs of propane on hand. I live in a suburban hurricane threatened area so I started keeping extra fuel in my shed for power generation. I realized how important fuel for your vehicle would be in the event of a supply chain disruption (natural or man made disaster) especially if I had to evacuate a longer distance. 40 gals is roughly 1 fill up for my full sized pickup and my wife’s small suv. We also try to keep our tanks half full or better if we’re just running around town.

Supporting equipment in this prep for me would be funnels and a hand operated transfer pump, large and small generator that runs on both types of fuel, propane camp stove, propane heaters, kerosene heater.

I use up about 5 gals of kero a year at my hunt camp, and I drain the gas into my vehicles and refill every 3-4 months. Regular unleaded with 10% ethanol is all that’s available in my area so I treat it with stabilizer and switch the gas out on schedule. So far there have been no issues and my fuel system was just given a clean bill of health.

I like the metal “Justright Safety” cans with a spring loaded pour spout. The 5 gallon kind without the metal hose, just a pour spout are about $65 apiece. I can tell hardly any air gets to them (and thus very little moisture, which bonds to the ethanol and gets sucked into the fuel) because every time I open one I hear the tssssst of pressure stabilization.

What methods/ how much fuel are yall storing?

Hello everyone. I'm interested in buying quik oats in bulk and wanted to ask you all if anyone has a good source/link. The best deal I've seen is Azure. Are there any places local (US) that quik oats are available in bulk, I'm sure the shipping isn't very good buying online because of the weight. I'm think of buying above 25lb, storing in Mylar o2 absorber method. Thanks for any suggestions

I have gathered 50lbs of rice and beans in 5lbs bags. The packaging it comes in from the store. I plan on storing it in 5 gallon buckets. With assorted flavorings. I am keeping it in a cool, dry space. Do I need to re-seal into Mylar bags? Or are the good as is? Thanks.
