When’s the last time anyone has ever heard of a jerry can exploding while using a transfer pump? I can’t imagine living life with that kind of fear. |

14 sticks Just one gallon of gasoline is equivalent to 14 sticks of dynamite in explosive force. Vapors from gasoline are also dangerous! This is like the neighbor up north who moved a 1500 gallon propane tank half full of propane with his tractor and a mini excavator down the road to his place. He buried it but didn't throw the anode bags in the ground. They say that "God' looks out for little kids and stupid people. |

Long run of ocean fishing I burn 40 or so gallons. Just looking for ideas. Not sure outside is an option since I live in an HOA. --- End quote --- Store it at the gas station. |

We used drums, plastic and steel... And steel tanks to store fluids in when we scrapped and derbied... Old oil tanks for diesel heaters ect... We never stored them inside... But we had major fire risks... But a couple plastic drums full of gas would be not much different then the 4 fivers I got in the garage now... If it's going to go it's going to go... I just couldn't imagine dealing with the gas that many times to get the drums full in the garage unless you got a better way? Then fill the boat when you can pull up to the pump in one shabang... Now if you can get a 250 gallon tank and install a pump and get gas delivered then it'd be worth it just for convenience... But I know that'd be against your HOA... Two drums of gas in the garage probably is too actually... You should read in on that... |

Since I use only non-ethanol there isn't always a convenient station on the way home, so I start the season with a full boat and 5 jerry cans full. I am part prepper so that side of me wants to store more fuel just in case. I will add a couple more jerry cans and call it a day. |
