With a nod to the Propane thread, I am good with the 20lb propane

in the winter a car with 12gallons of gasoline-
a generator with 10gallons of gas
a 5gallon and two 2 gallon cans of gas
two 1 gallon cans of mixed gas [40:1 & 50:1]
5 gallons of kerosene
5 gallons of diesel

I have toyed with the idea of a dedicated fuel shed/box out back but
it isn't something I've ever gotten around to. * * What are some
thoughts on safe storage of all this crap?

I am about the same. Here is one I bet noone thinks of.

I store my butane camp lantern in the basement along with the fuel
canisters. Last year I had to use it during an extended power outage
(about 2 hours). Started with a fresh canister. Power outage over, I
removed the canister. Next time I went to use it, the canister was
totally empty. Obviously the valve had not totally sealed and all the
remaining fuel leaked off.
