Just curious why would you spend that much money on fuel storage?

You can get a good used 55 gal drum for about $15-$25.

It’s emergency use not constant use so you don’t need a pump just a $5-$10 brass faucet or a valve and a couple of pieces of pipe. Turn the drum on it’s side and pick it up high enough to put a transfer container under the faucet.

If you want to go on the cheap get a piece of garden hose and siphon the fuel out into a transfer container.

You would have 55 gal of fuel for what your spending on storage without the fuel.

I like the set up as safer and easier to move and handle. I don’t want to be wrestling a 55 gallon drum full of gasoline, but to each there own. I know a few people who still can’t understand why no one wants to drive a stick any more even though it clearly has its advantages I don’t. Just as a lot of AR people don’t understand why I have a AK.
