[QUOTE="EFsDad, post: 2375158, member: 2950"] I have 60 gallons put up. Why you ask. I lived in Baghdad, Iraq from 04-05. This country has more oil than water, yet there were 12 months in the 12 that I was there that the locals had to wait in line for gas. The refinery was down and they imported their gasoline. Then the Army was rationing gas for about a month and we walked. Ever since then, I store 60 gallons. I rotate 20 gallons a month and use a super siphon hose and some 5 gallon buckets as a stand. It takes 1 minute and 38 seconds for a 5 gallon can to empty. I never worry about being out of electricity during natural events with my generator. At one point during the Ice Storm of 07, QT was out of gas. I never worry about if the balloon goes up will I have enough gas for my family to make it to the farm.
