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... --- End quote --- Yeah prob right. 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. --- End quote --- The ethanol free... You get the good stuff! I wish I had nice things... You could get a hold of one of those 200 gallon def containers that somebody doesn't want and put a gas pump on it... Just make sure nobody see's it when you pop your garage open... Keep a blanket over it... |

Not sure how to fix that issue other than being careful. --- End quote --- How do you be careful to avoid static electricity? |

https://jespear.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/BG.png Here are a few examples Difference Between Bonding, Grounding, and Bonding & Grounding Step 1: Understanding Bonding Bonding is the process of electrically connecting two or more conductive objects together so they are at the same electrical potential. In the first diagram, the steel tote is connected to the pump with a conductive wire. This prevents static charge buildup between them, reducing the risk of sparks when transferring liquids. Step 2: Understanding Grounding Grounding is the process of connecting a conductive object to the earth (ground) to safely dissipate any static or fault current. In the second diagram, the steel tote and the pump are connected to the earth ground. This ensures that any static charge is safely discharged into the ground. Step 3: Understanding Bonding & Grounding Bonding & Grounding combines both methods: Bonding ensures all conductive parts are at the same potential. Grounding ensures that potential is zero relative to the earth. In the third diagram, the steel tote and pump are bonded together and also connected to the earth ground, providing maximum protection against static discharge. Final Answer Bonding: Connects conductive objects together to equalize potential. Grounding: Connects conductive objects to the earth to dissipate charge. Bonding & Grounding: Combines both for full static control and safety. AI-Generated responses can contain errors and maybe not always be reliable. Double-check for accuracy. |
