I suppose you could kind of rotate it before the bad times ? Seems like gas would be the most important item outside of food and water .

Dose it with Seafoam and Sta-Bil, it will stay sweet for a long time. Still needs to be rotated out every couple years.

I keep 15 gallons on hand. I know it's not much, but it's enough to fill one vehicles tank. I use stabil, and change out every fall/spring.

I remember when John Denver got ratted-out for installing a 5000 gallon gas tank on his place. Maybe ask him how it worked out.....oh, wait, never mind.

Many older tractors will run well on the mineral oil and synthetic oil that is in the transformers on top of every few telephone poles. In a SHTF situation, you can spread a tarp or plastic sheeting at the base of the pole angled towards a bucket or other container and shoot a hole in the transformer, so that the oil pours out. Most transformers have about 79 gallons of oil in them. That will get you a long way and there is no shortage of transformers. Very few people know about this.

Even a normal diesel truck can run on mineral oil in a pinch, though there can be some carbon build up.
