I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but a boat marina can be a source of 95 - 100 octane low lead gasoline that the "pencil boats" use. Some still run two Packard built British type 12 cylinder Rolls - Royce Merlin engines (the engine famous for the North American P-51B - D fighters used in WWII that wrecked the German and Japanese empires). This gasoline can last 30 years with a stabilizer mixed in. My uncle had a 100 gallon tank of this stuff behind the barn down in Osceola, PA for over 50 years running the 1/4 mile in a heavily modded Dodge 440 Coronet running 850 shp into the rear end. A gasoline tanker driver kept him "tanked up" with the dregs he carried to the local airfield until 1998 when my uncle passed on. I ran it in my 1979 GMC and never did it go bad when the truck sat for a year or two being restored or modified. I ran it from a barn in Victor NY to Montgomery AL in 2008 with the original gas in it until a refill in Roanoke VA mixed in with it, then it ran crappy until I got it home in Alabama and was able to retune the carbs and timing to eat the crappy 93 octane gas we use today. Take the alcohol (ethanol or methanol, or a mixture of both) out of today's gas, and it will last 5 years + without stabilizer. I tested it in a metal can in a dry outbuilding, then poured it into a new gas tank for my GMC, and it ran beautifully after all those years in the can. So, find an airfield or marina that still has the 100 octane good stuff, and never care how much it costs if you want gas that will stay good for years. I used to put two or three gallons of K-1 kero in the tank to clean out the carbs and gas lines every six months or so if I was going to run the GMC for a while, then, before storage again, I would use the gas line shutoff to empty the carbs until the engine shut down by itself. I filled the tanks full before I put the truck into storage so I wouldn't have condensation buildup. It is ready to go anytime, just need to throw a battery into it. The GMC is EMP proof - no computers in it now and the alternator is isolated by grounding the socket and the field energiser is grounded, too. No problem.
Given the direction things are going, I'm planning on cleaning out the empty (and rust free) 55gal drum in my shop and filling it with the 91 octane EF I can get near my work. I figure even with today's prices, I'll be in much better shape to stock up now so I can keep it ready to use in case SHTF or prices double.....again.
Well made video! I worked at an airport pumping Avgas and Jet fuel, it was probably just a safety policy at that airport, likely mandated by whoever supplies the fuel, or insurance. We sold shell fuel and had our training by shell
You can buy metal gas cans made by Eagle for $58.00. I live in Florida so preparing is a way of life here. Many of my plastic gas cans have delaminated and began to leak. All I store gas in now is metal, its the only safe option available. Storing gasoline in a plastic can in your garage is a disaster waiting to happen.
The only "problem" I could see is that you're letting gas rest up against the spout, versus the spout/opening being at the top without gas resting against it. Should that seal become compromised for some reason, it could leak.
What do you think of storing the gas in a doghouse at the end of my property (about 50 feet away from the house) at the fence which is at the base of a hill? I live on top of a mountain and am afraid of keeping gas near or in the house. I heard it has to be in a well vented area and saw some doghouses with venting (a lot of them seem to advertise that) I would appreciate your insights. Also, if anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks- PS I have a shed about 8 feet from the house but am afraid to keep gas so close to house. (lots of wood)
@@JuanGarcia-ii7tt, if you have a sun-blocking container, no, the sun won't cause any problems. I would be more worried about potential leakage pouring down over the vehicle.
Would you still recommend stabilizer for long term storage of ethanol free? I use it religiously and refuse to use anything else, and would like to stock up in a 55gal drum I have in my shop.
lot of your grneraters you can run off propane,can still buy it cheaper than gas, bottles are about 35 new,can get at yard sells and other sells around 10. no real problem about storing them, put on plastic pallet,cover with tin and you're ready to go.
I've seen a 20 liter metal jerrycan sold for 30 bucks, while you say in the video that that's about how much a plastic one would cost. Is this a red flag? Does it mean they're selling a piece of crap?
@ChicGreekGeek You can store it outside, but depending on how much you're storing, you might want to check with your landlord. Depending on your vehicle, you might be able to attach the Jerry can directly to your vehicle.
Plastic cans are rubbish. They leech. Quality metal is the go. Quality metal cans WILL NOT RUST and have a good seal. Avoid Chinese made rubbish. Petrol will last the longest if you treat it and store it in metal with very little air gap.

Thank you for sharing this information with us much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
dude - your funny. Maybe its my warped Australian sense of humor. Thanks for the info..
Thanks captain and great video footage! Priceless! MadMax is where we are just about at now!
Very helpful, thank you from Thailand.
This guy is Project Farm 2.0, Thanks for the great tips!
Thank for the puregas tip!!
Awesome video thank you I just ordered my first Wavian 5 gallon Jerry Can two days ago and I’m waiting for it to arrive. Awesome tips
thx for the info i learned a lot 👍🏻👍🏻
Thumbs-up for the great information, and for all the Mad Max.
Excellent commentary, you have talent.
Thanks!!! That’s some great advice!!!
Well made video! I worked at an airport pumping Avgas and Jet fuel, it was probably just a safety policy at that airport, likely mandated by whoever supplies the fuel, or insurance. We sold shell fuel and had our training by shell
Great Editing and B-Roll. That editing must have taken awhile!
Great video, thanks. $2:19 gas WOW
@abradolf lincler Here in NWFL, usually two bucks or more. I can't remember ever seeing anything close to $1.49 in years.
$3.85, 12-18-2021
Lets go Branden for higher gas prices.
Thank you so much for this!
Great video thanks

Metal FTW
pretty funny.that was good
Here because far cry 5 and just because I'm looking at slight prepping
great video dude, now more important than ever - just subbed...
subbed. good info
Meanwhile in the UK we can only legally store 30 litres of petrol [gas] at home, that's about 6 UK gallons.
1000th sub
Holy editing Batman.
Can u teach me everything about life you make it so funny and easy! Lol
I can! Carpe noche.
Funny good video. Love the exploding clips 🤣😂
Got any videos like this for kerosene?
Kerosene will store a lot longer on its own. Cool dry place in an airtight container and it'll last any easy 5 years just like it is.
How about storing Diesel fuel?
Is there a problem storing these jery cans layed down? (Because I have a space that can fit 2, one on top of the other, but not standing up)
The only "problem" I could see is that you're letting gas rest up against the spout, versus the spout/opening being at the top without gas resting against it. Should that seal become compromised for some reason, it could leak.
@@survivedoomsday and then... **queue explosion footage**

I don't see any reason why the doghouse would be a problem if that makes you feel better about storing it.
@@survivedoomsday Thank you!
Can you store gasoline in stainless steel barrels long term safely,
So long as they're solid, sure.
@@survivedoomsday thanks
Can I just store it on top of my jeep roof rack? Or what can I use to always have it handy
People store jerry cans on their vehicles all the time (they were designed for that). You can buy attachments specifically for mounting them.
@@survivedoomsday so I can store em with gas? On my roof? The sun won't cause any problems
@@JuanGarcia-ii7tt, if you have a sun-blocking container, no, the sun won't cause any problems. I would be more worried about potential leakage pouring down over the vehicle.
@@survivedoomsday what would you use to prevent leakage?
it forms longer hydrocarbon chains and requires catalytic cracking once again?
Would you still recommend stabilizer for long term storage of ethanol free? I use it religiously and refuse to use anything else, and would like to stock up in a 55gal drum I have in my shop.
Yes
Loved the video. Reminded me of an OUTDOORS55 video.
Thanks. I ended up going to check out the OUTDOORS55 channel.
Great info. Thanks. SKIDDAH
The worst part about ethanol is that a few million people starve per year because of what using food for fuel does to food prices.
Here because of the plague
Turn the volume down if listening through headphones
NOW I see this 😩 💥😀
lot of your grneraters you can run off propane,can still buy it cheaper than gas, bottles are about 35 new,can get at yard sells and other sells around 10. no real problem about storing them, put on plastic pallet,cover with tin and you're ready to go.

Most likely
@ChicGreekGeek I would NOT store gasoline in your apartment. Very dangerous.
@ChicGreekGeek You can store it outside, but depending on how much you're storing, you might want to check with your landlord. Depending on your vehicle, you might be able to attach the Jerry can directly to your vehicle.
Ear bud warning at 1 minute. Save your ears
Wow 3.19 lol it’s now 4.80 or more 😂😂😂😂😂
Storing
It's not gasoline it's petroleum, particularly diesel. I wish the world used one fucking measuring system
Have you heard of somekind of gas pills for long storage?
idk that i can get 0% ethanol in ca
Depends which city you are in or near: www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=CA
Gas was $2.19 when you made this video 😭😭
Clearly I should have stocked more!
This video made me paranoid about the justrite metal safety can I bought to store in my garage with the video cuts.
Don't use AV gas for generators equipt with inverters. AV gas runs hotter!!
Plastic cans are rubbish.
They leech.
Quality metal is the go.
Quality metal cans WILL NOT RUST and have a good seal.
Avoid Chinese made rubbish.
Petrol will last the longest if you treat it and store it in metal with very little air gap.
RIP headphone users
1:18😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
DUMP or KEEP?:
Ok I didn’t know any better. So, I bought gas ⛽️, 3 months later I put in the stabilization.
You're good.
Add alcohol to long term fuel
Ethanol is alcohol. Why add more?
All the cuts lol
