For a couple years I have been thinking of storing gas in a plastic drum for use in the tractor and mowers and such. There are plenty of plastic drums around here, I would think fuel put up in one of these with Stabil would keep for a while. Would not be a problem to build a rack to hold it horizontal with the large bung up for filling. When the storm hit, I had 25 gallons in cans and 18 gallons in the old Allis-Chalmers for use in the generator and for use in the truck if needed. Never did loose power but I gave 10 gallons to my neighbor to run a pump and loaned the generator and another 10 gallons to my sons friend when they lost power. Not sure how many gallons the plastic drums hold but would be nice to have a little extra. Gasoline got hard to find because of the flooding and another 20 or 30 gallons would be comforting. I don't know what plastic type or code will stand up to gasoline. I looked on the gas cans but no number or code. I would appreciate any input.
