lets discuss preps for disasters

Our neighbor has a newer Ford Focus. He wanted to put some fuel from a plastic gas can into it, but he couldn't figure out how since it doesn't have a gas cap. He finally figured out there is a funnel included with the car in the spare tire area that you shove into the filler and it opens the fuel filler in case you need to do just that.

My F150 came with a funnel to use with a gas can.

It doesn't have a gas cap, just a door.

This looks kinda neat. The "PRO" version is $134.00. The "Standard" version is $85.00 and the "Gravity" version is $39.00 and I've seen it on Amazon for $27.00.

Spent the day moving fuel from 55gal drum storage to my large tanks (300gal gas, 275gal diesel), and refilling from the local farm co-op with fresh fuel. The oldest gasoline was from Dec/2012, and it was $3.23 when it went in the drum, refilled today with $1.84. I use PRI-G in my gasoline, and it does fine.

Now both my big tanks are full, got 10-55gal drums of diesel and 5 of gasoline, and 2 of kerosene in storage.

Did that a number of years ago. Next you'll be researching Harbor Freight Powder coating or Hi-Tek epoxy to encapsulate the bullets to prevent leading etc.
