Just a word on propane though. The Govt occassionally changes the rules on canister guidelines plus, the canisters technically have to be re-inspected or retired after a time. Check the top they have these number codes. I have one that stands four feet high [4 gl?] ; just the outer limits of what you can load in a car and drive to the refill station.

Last time the guy noted technically he's not supposed to fill it given the code on the tank [but he did anyway]. Still better than storing gas, but technically the tanks are supposed to also have a shelf life. Then again if a refill station turned me down I'd just head to the next; I'll bet 75% dont look...

If you have an permanently installed propane tank on an RV, they don't expire, and you can run a "T" off of them to external equipment.
