I am interested in storing 50 -100 gallons of gasoline as part of my families 72-hour survival kit. I usually keep four 5 gallon containers around that I use for the lawn mower or whatever and every month or so I dump one in my CJ and get another fresh container so I keep them rotated. But now I am thinking about storing more and keeping it more long term. From google searches I am seeing conflicting comments about gasoline storage is safe for 3 months and up to 15 months using a stabilizer. And the next guy says he stores gas for 2+ years without any stabilizer. I also hear that the military using something that will help stabilize the gas for up to
5 years. Does anyone know the "right" way to store gasoline and how long it can truly be stored for? Does a different octane content make a difference? The link below is the most official info I have been able to find, the rest is not backed data or has the taste of advertising.- posted
