Yep -
My Aunt & Uncle and all of their kids had dairy farms. They had diesel and gas.
Large tanks. A working farm or ranch has large tanks as they get delivery
once a month or once a quarter.
They were in Wisconsin. And the tanks were outside by the equipment barn.

They are all out of the farms now - small farms overwhelmed by large corporates.

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?

I think there is a limit regarding storage and a step up in regulations.
Something like 500 gallons takes minimal precautions etc. Never really
thought about it, but I know a lot of the farmers in the midwest have a
500
gallon tank for their tractor(s), and I think most of them used to just
sit
on stands. Been a while and I never really asked.

My grandfather had an elevated gasoline tank on his farm for filling his
tractor in Ohio. I know most of his gentleman farmer buddies did too.
Don't recall if he ever said how big it was, but I would guess 500 gallons.
