Do you handle a lot of gas cans (moving them around) on your

Once a month or so, I fill the 10 5-gallon portable gasoline
containers at a filling station and use them to refill the
55-gallon drum.
Why can't you fill your car at the gas station like everybody
else???.
Yea, I think that's what we're all trying to figure out at this point.
His neighbor was looking for a reason to call the authorities on him,
and didn't have to look far.
There's only 2 reasons why someone might want to maintain a small store
of gas in his backyard:
1) It's a long way to the gas station, and you're going to burn a lot of
gas going there just to get your gas. *So get as much as you can in one
trip and bring it all home for re-distribution.
2) You want to save a few bucks by buying gas when the price is low.
It's just that you want to buy a LOT of gas when the price is low -
enough to last you a month.
I can't see either reason as being lucrative enough to justify the
hassle and the up-front cost in the tanks and pump. *The additional risk
of having a large gas tank on your property is hard to quantify - and
just remember that it becomes more dangerous from an explosion pov the
more empty it gets.
I can think of another reason. *How about he's not buying the gas at
a gas station but stealing it from some jobsite?- Hide quoted text -

Bingo!
