Gunner One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Certainly. Even small trucks, like mine, drink the stuff. If it's available when the evacuation occurs I wouldn't need to take any. If it's not, I'm not evacuating. Again, how do you store a worthwhile amount of fuel safely?

Where do you store them? Remember, the only reason to have gas cans is that gas may not be available when you have to bug out. That means storing them full, and all that goes with it. Were gas available, all you need is money. A *lot* of that can be stored safely. <snip - once the above is answered we can get on to what sort of can to buy>

Were gas available, all you need is money. A >*lot* of that can be stored safely. I store the trailer cans..on the trailer (my property is well fenced and I have dogs) and the loose cans are stored in an outbuilding. Most are kept full, and every couple months, Ill dump 2 cans into the vehicles, schlep them down and refill them, and place them in the B rack. This ensures that none go too stale (I also drop a bit of Stabil in each can when I fill them) and that I have gas on hand. I learned long ago,...that emergencies of most types..dont give you any warning signs..and some are so sudden..any other sources of gasoline may be destroyed/disrupted at the onset. I was one of the 9000 victims of the Coalinga Earthquake in 83....and other "fun" stuff. I live in California... Did I mention that all the gas stations were DOWN for a radius of 10 miles? > > ><snip - once the above is answered we can get on to what sort of can to buy> One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

This >ensures that none go too stale (I also drop a bit of Stabil in each can >when I fill them) and that I have gas on hand. My point was that not everyone has a place to store significant quantities of gas safely. It's not nice stuff to store, in comparison with diesel, for instance. >I learned long ago,...that emergencies of most types..dont give you any >warning signs..and some are so sudden..any other sources of gasoline may >be destroyed/disrupted at the onset.
