I want to install a ~250 gallon gasoline tank at my shop to be filled by a company really near by. I'm wondering if I could store it in a slightly modified propane tank, rather than a standard liquid fuel tank. I would completely close up the propane tank when not in use, no vent or anything, so as to prevent condensation and water buildup.
Would it be ok to store gas completely sealed up tight like this? I mean, is it any more dangerous than the propane the tank was designed to hold? I'd probably have a high pressure safety blow off valve of some sort, but I doubt I would need that with gas.
I'm also thinking if it looks like a propane tank, nobody is going to try and siphon of a few gallons into a can. Empty gas tanks have been a big problem around here....
