I'm thinking of getting a large gasoline tank, enough for two or more years
of use. Looking at the stabil product, they claim increasing fuel life (in
an engine) to 15 months.

Are there other things to increase fuel life? For example, will storage at a
constant 45 degrees help? What problems will old fuel cause?


Storing gasoline IN A TANK is a lot easier than storing it in a vehicle.
The bad stuff tends to stay in the tank and not clog the carb. Stabil
works, you might have to add more each year.

There are many hazards to doing this, but I have done it and if you
think it through it can be done.
