How To Store Gasoline Long-Term / Emergency Fuel Storage

[@iiinsaiii]

I have 30 of these Jerry cans and I numbered each one. I also have a clip board with the number of each Jerry can, with the date they was filled. I use Pri-G gas stabilizer in all my stuff. I’ve had gas that’s been 2 years old. I just pour it into my car. If I pour in 2 cans I make sure I fill the rest of the tank with new gas. Never had a problem.

[@brucev6642]

Your car is a great way to 'dispose' of that old gas.

[@RussC123]

Is 2 years your go-to shelf life before rotating out? Or do you typically like to rotate earlier?

[@peterryan7340]

I have found that our non ethanol premium unleaded fuel in Australia lasts for at least 2 years with Stabil added. Air tight containers in a cool dark concrete garage.

[@chrisbyers6084]

If you have space and inclination. Take old fridge or freezer partially bury it laying down. Will hold 30 -50 gallons in 5 gallon cans. Protected from sudden temp changes & keeps fuel protected and out of sight. Punch hole in bottom to drain condensation/rain, add pad lock.

I watched this video a while back before I started storing gas. I bought a few of these metal cans and stored them outside the house but didn't figure in that that side of the house would have more sun later in the summer. I went over seas and came back to all of them bloated and out of shape. No leaks and the gas was still good after six months. Lesson learned. Keep out of the sun like the guy said. Great video.

I have two 5 gal cans. When my car hits 1/2 tank i use one then refill it instead of the car. Next 1/2 tank use the other one. 12 gal tank in the car. This way the car is full and the gas in the cans stays fresh.

[@bdcochran01]

I am 77 years old. Stored gasoline for decades and I have kept up with the regulations on fuel cans and fuel composition. 1. this old video is informative. 2. your gasoline will go bad. Whereas the formulation of gasoline has changed, you can cut the time in half, if you want to be on the safeside. 3. I used to keep notes. Now I don't. Definitely, I rotate at the cold winter football season time. I go at sunrise when the smokers are still sleeping and when nobody gets gas because they are going to stuff themselves watching a football game. I pull out the gas cans and put them outside at home, keep filling the car until the stored gasoline is used up, making sure the cans are clean and refill them asap and back into covered storage outoors. I then try to do it in the middle of the year. I fill the tank with the stored gasoline before a major trip and refill after the long trip. I can't do it exactly, but there is max of 30 potential gallons circulated. 4. I gave up on the concept of having enough gasoline and shifted long term energy storage to propane.

[@markcocks5295]

Good video. I have used NATO cans for 20 years and cut foam rectangles (yoga/camping or car floor mat) and tape them to the can bottoms to stop damage to the paintwork when moving the cans about. That stops rust problems.

[@chinadave2854]

On the plastic jugs I drilled a hole and pushed in a yellow breather by the handle so when I tip up the can my thumb flicks it open and it drained in a about a minute buy 10 on line for a few bucks and they snap closed, when not in use cheep fix and no more gurgling and I cut the spring down so it would be easier to push the nozzle in but still sealed when not in use. Good luck gents!

[@donhency7677]

I started using rubber valve stems for the vent. I just drill the hole at the top of the can near the back. I drop a cord with a lead split shot sinker into the hole. Shake it out the bung. Remove the valve core put the string through the stem thread end first re crimp sit shot to pull valvestem up through hole. Grab with pliers and pull it into place. Use a metal valve stem cap on it for transport and storage. Been doing it for years and have never had a leak.

[@notyoung]

I store 15-20 gallons of treated gas in the shed with the mowers, tiller, etc. I treat the gas with Stabil the day I purchase it and tag the can with the date purchased & treated. I rotate through the stock, using the oldest first. I did have some "help" one year and the gas cans got out of sequence. Found myself using 2-year-old gas (treated, stored in a 90% full and tightly capped can) in the mowers and backpack blower Everything started and ran fine so a sealed container (reduced oxygen exposure) and Stabil can preserve gas at least 2 years. Prep usage of stored gas is for a 1600 watt inverter generator, the backup to my small solar system. which is adequate for about 20 hours running fridge, internet, etc (drops to 8 hours when running the central heat). Without commercial power or enough sun, the inverter gen would use about 1 gallon/day to charge the battery bank to have power for 24 hours (gen time + battery time). The solar system is primarily for short power outages ("Wait until daylight" so I'm not out in the dark in a thunderstorm or shoveling 7" of snow at 30F to get a gen started). Dropping back to a "cabin in the woods" level of power makes it viable for the long term, running a small fridge (4.4 cu ft counter height), some LED lighting over the kitchen counter, charging handie-talkies and cell phones (if that service is up). At this level, the inverter gen might use 1/2 gallon/day on the days there isn't adequate sun - it's all in the multi-page spreadsheet I created to do "What if", including the maximum and peak loads of various appliances and cells that turn red when the capacity of the batteries or the 2000 watt inverter are exceeded. Yes, it's possible to discharge the 420 amp hour battery bank in just a couple of hours but we will NOT be using the "1100 watt" .microwave oven which actually draws more than the 1700 watts on its label or the garage door opener (1200+ watts starting, 430 watts running) or the laser printer (495 watts printing) and so forth. Solar power is ideal for some things, such as the lighting in the equipment shed. The $175 I spent to put together a "set and forget" solar-charged LED lighting system there was cheaper than tunneling under a concrete driveway to run AC power out there to have lights for 20 minutes a few times a week. The switch for those lights is a 60 minute windup timer so the lights can't be left on. A typical quick twist of the timer's knob gives about 20 minutes of light - more than adequate for getting things out of or back into the shed.

[@Yhrim70]

**My $2 (adjusted for inflation):* I have never had good performance from "sta-bil" brade fuel stabilizer... What I have found and personally used in gasoline to keep it good for multiple years is PRI-G (also use PRI-D for diesel). If you add it by the appropriate listed amount (or a bit more) at least once a year, it keeps gas in great quality and condition. It also boosts the octane levels as well. The older the gas gets... you may want to add a bit extra PRI-G each year to the gas to compensate for its age. However, I also Never purchase "regular" gas which is *at least* 10% ethanol. This is doubly true for gas that is going to be stored for any length of time. I personally make sure to purchase premium gas at stations which point blank list that their premium contains **NO Ethanol.** As ethanol not only causes gas to go bad MUCH faster, it also helps to destroy small engine carbs and causes a list of other issues. EDIT: HA! Got ahead of him! He brought up the Non-Ethanol. Great Job!

[@jonniemactyler7929]

Don't know how long you are wanting to store your gasoline, but I've had regular gas with ethanol stored in Wavian jerry cans and treated with PRI-G for at least 2 years. I used up every bit of that gas last year when I decided it was probably time to cycle through the fuel and replace it with fresh. Ran perfectly fine with no noticeable difference in performance or economy in my Honda Civic. That gas was at least 2 years old. I have some stored similarly in a 10L jerry can for my lawnmower & weedeater gas. The remainder of that fuel is over 3 years old and my mower started with one pull and ran fine using that fuel this spring. So, at least with PRI-G treated fuel stored in sealed NATO cans you can use regular gas containing ethanol and not have to worry if you cycle through it every few years. One of the biggest worries with ethanol gas is how readily it attracts water from the vapor in the air. That is why having cans with a real seal makes a big difference.

[@Yhrim70]

@@jonniemactyler7929 that's also true about ethanol attracting water. The biggest problem I've had with ethanol fuel, is in weed eaters, chainsaws and a small honda generator. I've had to clean carbs on all of them multiple times, and even had to replace a carb on a chainsaw and I think a weed eater too, when I was using ethanol gas. Once I switched to non-ethanol fuel, haven't had another problem since. The ethanol just varnishes up the carbs really bad and really quickly. Especially when talking about how small the jets are in chainsaw and trimmer carbs. Just my experience. On a mower or larger engine, I like to run the carb empty if its going to be sitting for a while. But their larger carbs can handle a bit more than what the smaller engines can, so ethanol probably would be "as bad" as it is on the smaller engines.

Like you, I mark each can with a piece of tape, indicating Date, Brand, Octane, Price and if it has Sta.Bil. I have an old Holley racing [Blue] electric fuel pump. There is a cord that plugs into the cigar lighter on the dash. I run a glass fuel filter in-line with the ickup hose, so I can monitor if there is any rust or paint flaking from the inside of my gerry cans. I mostly use the NATO type. I have British, Swiss, French, Danish, Israeli and some old US GI types. The red steel Harbor Freight cans are made in Latvia, and are good, except for the child-safe nozzles.

I havea 4,000 watt generator, dual fuel. Some of the local Nevada Maverik gas stations sell regular gasoline which has NO ethanol for a little more than the price of premium gasoline.

I just recently prepped if for winter and used a pint of no-ethanol gasoline to get it started and up to temperature before changing over to propane which burns very cleanly. I learned the hard way that ethanol, with or without stabil, will junk up the carbs internally after a year and it is nearly impossible to get replacement parts for them. So both generators are stored with no fuel in the tank or carb.

Ethanol is one of those additives that weakens the fuel. That's why the octane is lower than premium fuel.

Good Job Thank You

Still don't get why people say gas only lasts a year or so, had an older blazer that needed an engine and it sat for a few years, by the time we got around to putting a new engine in we just hooked up the fuel line and it ran fine on gas that was years old with no stabilization or fancy storage it was just sitting in the tank in florida of all places

[@VintageCars999]

Maybe the gas was fresh when you put it in. Sometimes they can sit for a while when they are at the pump or before where they refine and ship the gas. Also I believe that 91 octane fuel lasts longer than the 87.

@@VintageCars999 I don't think the gas station we got it from got more than a shipment of gas a year, it was more for cigarettes and lottery tickets with gas as an afterthought, it was also 87 octane too

Hell of a salesman!!

[@kenmelton3649]

What’s the best way to dispose of your old gas?

[@moilh916]

Nice!

[@ihavehadenough8772]

Or...Buy regular gas...it costs .50 to 1.00 a gallon more...but it stores for many years...some over 4 years worked fine...
