Fuel can source?

[csaws]

Cool! Let us know what you think of it. If they're still on sale come pay day, and I'm not dead by then, I may get one myself... It's been on the "that would be nice" list for years now.

Will do bud. Problem is it’s not supposed to get here until Tuesday or Wednesday and I dont work again until 4/7.

The price went up on that 14 gallon plastic tank. $145 + the governor's money now.

I put 5 more of the Jegs offerings on order today. With gas prices like they are it is well worth the efforts.

Looks like the sale ended... I snoozed and losed!

Glad a member got one for us to check out before the sale ended!

Glad I ordered it when I did then

I just filled the two Jerry can knockoffs that were sitting empty.

Wonder how much is too much fuel to have stored inside of a building?

Depends on how its stored and your insurance coverage.

Well to store more fuel I will have to get another outside box. More $$$ on that.

If you're anywhere near Greenfield you can get sturdy jugs at Comet Kart Sales on US40 just West of town. I've been racing 120mph go-karts since the 70's and have used the jugs sold at Comet for at least the last 15 years. They've held up well banging around in the trailer and in the pits. I use the smaller jugs with built in spout shown on their website for weekly fueling of things like the lawn mowers. I have a number of the 5 gallon jugs for storage with Sta-Bil. They also have spare parts like fill tubes, gaskets for the caps, etc. I also have a few of the VP jugs and they've been great so far.

We have several of the 5 gallon style in that link. We only have maybe 10 of the Jegs containers. The rest are the same style as the ones Comet sells. The Jegs are the same size and shape basically. Maybe not as heavy duty.

Do you do anything special to store your jugs more safely than some other way? When I was a home owner I had a shed I kept the extra in, but here I just have them in the attached garage. If even the relatively small amount of spare gas I have ever went off, it would be a total loss.

There is too much to put in 1 place so they are spread through the sheds and the shop.

So I'm going to highjack this thread, let's talk about if you can find gas stations that offer ethanol-free fuel? CountryMark is the only place I've found that you can get it. If you've looked, what has been your experience?

So is it the ethanol in the gas that goes bad faster. Will ethanol-free ever go bad or just last longer?
Sta-Bil.... Do you need it for the ethanol-free?











Hey, if we're going to jack, we might as well jack all the way off.




er..... ah....... wait.....

Sta-Bil is still in play. I see a lot of content about how ethanol breaks down small engine fuel systems. So if we're going to store fuel for long periods I want to protect my chainsaws, log spliters, other small engines from deterioration over the long term.

There is a Sunoco near I-65 and IN-39 that sells it. A a premium price.

As I understand it, the ethanol also attracts water. So not good for storage.

Not surprised that it's higher than market unleaded 89.

My answer for that has been very simple: I don't store my small engines with any fuel in them. They all have fuel shut offs and I run them all dry. If they've going to be stored for more that 6 months, I'll dump the tanks out too. Easy enough and works for me.

To answer what you asked, CountryMark, a few gas stations selling straight up race gas, and places like Home Depot selling small jugs of "TruFuel" (premixed 2 cycle) are the only places I know of to buy ethanol free fuel.

This website seems pretty accurate too.

edit: Also.. There's no promise that every grade of "regular" gas at every local station you go to actually has ethanol in it or that it does all year long. For about $5 you can get a content tester test out your local stations to see if maybe you can get lucky and accidentally run into some E0.
