How to store fuel for survival?
Step one: Store your fuel correctly in the proper container
(and never mix fuels).
Choose the proper color: Did you know gasoline containers
are red, kerosene containers are blue, diesel containers are
yellow, and generally propane containers are neutral white
for barbecues, and green for portable Coleman type stoves?
Keeping your fuel in different containers is important as
mixing fuels could be lethal!

Keep valves and lids sealed properly.
Step two: Use fuel additives and stabilizers:
STA*BIL. Fuel stabilizers keep fuel fresh for quick, easy
starts after storage, and they also prolong engine life. A
trusted brand is STA*BIL on Amazon. It removes water to
prevent corrosion and cleans carburetors and fuel injectors,
and also protects your engine from gum, varnish rust, and
corrosion.
Fuel storage tip: Use a fuel funnel to help. The helpful
extended filler neck opens gas tank trap door.
Step three: Check the storage conditions that apply to your
selected fuel type.
Propane is odorless in it's natural state; however,
manufacturers add an odor to help make this fuel more safe
for consumers to handle: if it leaks, consumers will notice
the odor! Always store propane outside. Read more below on
the safe handling of propane.
