How are you going to operate your well pump with no electricity? Your water table is probably too,low for a hand pump (not enough suction head)

If you have an electric generator, how long is your fuel supply going to last? Do you store 500 gal,of fuel? 1,000 gal? 10,000 gal?

How do you keep it from going bad?

It is not for everyone, but all stationary gasoline engines can be converted to propane or natural gas. Propane has an unlimited shelf life, and storage is very safe compared to gasoline.

How about a 1400 gal cistern that takes a couple of hours to fill with a generator and a couple of gallons of gas. I can go a long time. I also live on a lake and have a number of "Water Straws".
