Right now it varies a little week to week as I am constantly rotating the stock. But usually something like 40-50 gallons of gas, plus the vehicles never go below 1/2 tank and all my equipment such as generator, mowers, etc are always left full.

I also currently have 40 gallons of desiel in can and both tractors full. I have bought a 285 gallon tank, that I'm currently trying to clean and paint and get moved into the garage and on the stand. It will be filled as I can afford it.

All storage containers are treated when purchased.

I dont have nearly enough. Only enough to give each vehicle another tank and whats leftover for the mower.


I have gas envy

Echo2,
Did you weld this one up, or is it store bought? I like it.

As for the question.... I keep about 10 gallons on the side. Not enough, I know, but I plan to stay put if I can.
I keep a lot of propane and camp stove fuel though.

I keep about 80 gallons of gas, and about 10 of diesel. I am negotiating with a local about an above ground 250 gallon tank, but he just wants too much

funny i was just talking about this on another post about home heating oil. i have a idea of what i want to do if shtf. i have like 30 gallons of fuel on hand plus the oil tank has like 100 gallons of kero in it. i was thinking of just building a still in the event of need and modifying the carbueretor in my truck if you bore the fuel tube out a little with a small grinder and advance the timing it will run on alcohol pure with a little less horse power. i mean how long are yall gonna last on 30 or even 100 gallons of gasoline. hell my truck holds 31 gallons and gets 9mpg city how well are we gonna do?? i think this is something that needs rethought.

At our retreat....we keep quite a bit of fuel for the gennys and such.....there is also a 1k tank of propane....a few 100lbers....and a pile of 20lbers.

Last season...I caught wind of CVS getting rid of the 2 pks of 1lb propane....I got 24 2 pks.

With the math...we figure 18 months cooking and cold storage (freezers)....and are working on a solar set up now.

in that first pic those round cylinder looking tubes gotta be empty cause you couldn't move them if full with a pallet jack

I have teenagers here that keep raiding my fuel stash for the boat and quads, but I'd say about 60 gal on hand

We move them around full in the garage with a pallet jack.....they are empty there...just built the carriers.

We have a 500gl diesel tank which I keep at about 70gl right now because I'm going to move it out to the property. Also 80gl of gas, 10gl of coleman, and 100lbs of propane. (need to fill the other one) Also a butt load of the small propane bottles for Coleman lanterns and stove. It should last for a little while. The still is a great idea! The carburetor mod should not take much to "modify" it's basic air fuel mixture ratios. Exhaust modification would help to ensure that the engine "breathes" properly. PLugs are another matter, you want them to run cooler because you are running a more highly combustable fuel. Actually a more cleaner burning fuel, thinner mixture, will make the stock plug turn ashen/white so you'll need a cooler plug. But if you run a larger exhaust pipe and muffler with less back pressure you might not have to change plugs. But I would still want my engines quiet and stealth, so I'd be mindful of which muffler to use. My 2 cents..........

Be safe................the night is your friend.

That's a lot of gas and a lot of money!!!
