Re: Home DIY gasoline station

Starting at 100 gallons, at an average of 15 gallons per fill up, that's
only 6 fill ups before you need to run out and get more fuel, where four
cars can run though that in just a month so the gas won't sit for long.

 
The main reason to build a DIY gas station is the sheer convenience of it.
Even the wife & kids can easily refuel their own cars in the driveway now.
 
This frees me of the task where all I have to do is go to Costco once a
month with 10 empty jugs and that fuels all the cars for the next month.
 
The main question was how many of you have made your own gas station?
That's why I loved the most the helpful advice from Paul in Houston.
 
He knows what he's doing because he's done it.
Which is the best kind of person to get advice from.
 
Has anyone else on this group made their own DIY home gas station?
What did you learn from your efforts that I can benefit from knowing?
 
 

I uess that it depends on where you are at.  I pass several gas stations
every time I leave the house.  No prolem to just stop at one of them.

I do have 4 of the 5 gallon cans and a few one gallon cans.  I fill them
up with the ethanol free fuel for the lawn equipment and to have on hand
for the 5 kw generator that I seldom need.  The one gallon ones get oil
for the 2 cycle engines in them.  If I run out I can always use some of
the 5 gallon can gas.  Usually only fill 2  of the 5 gallon and one of
the one gallon cans up every month or two during the mowing season.

If I lived far away from a station I might store a much larger amount.
Cosco is about 40 miles away from me and not worth my time and membeship
money, same as Sam's Club.
