Hey folks,
I have decided to store a small amount of gasoline for mowers and tractors for the shop and orchard. I can buy no-ethanol gas locally (and leaded regular for that matter) and have had problems with fuel storage.
I have a 55 gal. barrel that I set up for kerosene with a GPI diaphragm pump in the large bunghole and a simple double elbow vent pipe in the other.
The hand pump is rated for gas and I am looking for insight on how to store this drum. Ideally I would like to store it in the shop (2400 sf with 18' ceilings) but don't know if it can be done safely.
I can transport up to 100 gal in NY without hazmat issues.
Looking for suggestions, opinions and info.
Thanks in advance,
Brad
