I have treated all our generators to include my mom's and our fuel. The fuel will most likely get rotated way before time is up on this stuff but if not then I dont have to worry. This small amount may not be enough to survive the zombie apocolypse, mayan EOW or Zs polar shift but it gets me thru real life stuff like ice storms, tornandoes, makes sure i can leave if needed (bugout) and runs a generator thats used only for emergencies, pumping water etc for a long time. It has also gotten me thru some tuff times till the next payday hit when things went bad. Being able to treat my moms stuff was a big plus for me because I know they dont do monthly generator testing like they should and you never know about things that have been sitting around so I now the fuel will be gtg.
At current prices if this sat around and went bad I'd be looking at well over the cost of a bottle. It only takes a few minutes to measure n pour so time investment is minimal as well.

I get mine from flea markets. It cheap and you can find good ones if you look hard enough. However, I have recently taken to buying several marginal ones when i find them be they plastic or metal. I also purchase used civilian cans. These I keep empty. I started this after reading Patriot and its Sequel Survivor. As the author brought up a good point gas will likely be available in smaller areas for a while after fuel cans are gone. This way I have some extra empties to either fill, barter, sell or give to those who truly need them, I.E. the woman down are block with 2 kids under 3. Also civilian used cans are cheap. I buy most of them for a dollar or two and have about twenty empty cans all together as well as 8 full cans treated gas and two with untreated for everyday use.

Watch out for some of the NEW Jerry cans you see out there. I have a supply of the really old ones from the 1940s both German and Swiss. They are built like tanks and all i had to do was replace the gasket around the lip of the pouring spout. The new ones sometimes claim to be made in the US are not. They come from China and are very light weight. There are two models of them. One is darker green and it is extremely light weight and can bend out of shape easily. The other one is a lighter green and has a pin installed on the cap to prevent opening accidents. It is the better can. I have purchased one of the lighter green cans for testing and will see how it holds up. Check any can you buy to see if it keeps a seal when the cap is tightened down. Also be sure it opens easily as one that has warped will have big problems opening.

New cans from China should run between $20.00 and $40.00 each. A new US made can will run you at least $80.00. Best thing to do is buy from a trusted source so you don't get messed around with. GB

Any Texas folks know where I can get clean 55gal drums. This is what I am going to set up for my fuel storage.
