Not very useful when you run outta gas and find that all gas stations are shut down, because there will be no electricity to run their pumps.

How about those hand pumps that you see on the portable tanks that farmers and landscapers have in the back of their pickup trucks.

Would they have the lift necessary to pull gas out of the bottom of a buried tank?

I know if the tank level is below 14.5 feet (standard atmospheric pressure) no pump will pull it up.

Not to mention that you’ll be the target for every zombie out there.

Stock up on fuel stabilizer. If, as predicted, many, or most, vehicles will be disabled, there will be a lot of fuel available in a lot of tanks. You’ll need containers and the stabilizer for longer term storage.
