    Location is determining factor for me, here in Calif. regulations (AQMD - air quality management district), state, county, city and fire district, all have to approve bulk fuel storage permits. Makes it cost prohibited for bulk storage tanks, still we use a lot of 5-gallon cans of gas, pre-mix, and diesel. Keep them in color coded cans in fire cabinets for each type of fuel. I'm not complaining about price as much as I was a year ago or when it went to $5 gallon gas. We still pay way more than rest of country, today it's still $2.91 per gallon for gasoline.

    We burn thru the gas so the only thing we use stabilizer in is the gas that goes in generators. As you need them to start now, not a option in emergency when people need water and power. When I was a kid growing up in Arkansas everyone outside of towns had propane tanks and bulk fuel tanks. The gasoline tanks had to be labeled (off road only for farm use), we used a lot of the "farm" fuel on highways (f the tax man).
