Propane is more expensive here per BTU than red fuel, and it won't fuel my tractors. I would also need a very large storage tank.
Gasoline is more volatile and goes "stale" after a few months. It also won't fuel my tractors or heat the house.
Diesel (red fuel) is the only product I can reliably store long term, and in sufficient quantity, to get me through a prolonged power outage. I use it for heat, to generate electricity and for tractor fuel. In an emergency, I can also use it in my diesel pickup. All home appliances, power tools, push mower, trimmer, etc. are electric.
Other than a small gas can for the backup generator, diesel (red fuel) is the only fuel I need.
