Tell me, please, that this is a strange attempt at humor.
Step 1. Don’t store gasoline unless you rotate it. Step 2- go NG or lpg for home, and diesel for vehicles.

I posted to a thread about my storing of gasoline it was a joke it went from here to clown posse then to DU then to the FBI police fire dept. and all the rest it was a nightmare ask around its true

I would have changed insurance companies.
Yeah, the inflatable pool by the bus stop was probably a bad idea.

What he said....
If you live anywhere near water buy marine gasoline. It is refined without ethanol so that it will store well. They do this because boats don’t get used all the time and ethanol turns to varnish and ruins everything after a while in storage.
After SHTF...if you’re driving around while everyone else is walking...you’re just a target.
Farm liability policies are not real common. They are very local. A hands on kinda thing.
Prepping is all well and good if you are looking to get through the aftermath of a hurricane or ice storm that causes power to be out for an extended period of time. Having a month or two of basic supplies is always a good idea. But if we are truly in a SHTF situation, the preppers will quickly become targets of a desperate mob. That means anybody running generators, showing up at the store with bars of gold or otherwise drawing attention to themselves.
Much better to barter your services in such times. Those who can build things, fix things, provide medical services and otherwise make themselves useful in a post-apocalyptic society will have a much better chance of riding it out then somebody trying to hunker down with a huge cache of supplies.
Working Farms have an exemption.
I gave up on Stabil when I found the blue stuff by Star Brite. Nice blue color so you can see in on auto parts store, works as an enzyme for two years and have even used it to make older gas usable. Miracle stuff and is great for snow blowers.
We got alot of old motorcycles and storage is a problem because of the alky. When we can get it we now use aviation auto gas(cheaper than 100 octane low lead), has no alky. When we can get if for our higher performance bikes we use 100 oct low lead, expensive and no lead. All aviation style fuel stores for longer periods of time.
Anyway, folks here are right, gas not such a good idea. Diesel better but still goes bad. Best choice for internal combustion engines is propane, stores almost indefinitely, burns clean, oil stays wonderfully clean. Propane drawbacks is sometimes hard to find and in below zero temperatures sometimes does not want to vaporize.
