Storing Diesel in Jerrycans Longterm
Hi there,
Having recently suffered the embarressing situation of running out of fuel on a shake down trip, it started me thinking about keeping fuel in our gerrry cans long term.
Does anyone have any advice to give about the saftey aspects of this. Should it be done? What I am talking about here is keeping a 20L gerry can full, always for a 'Just in case' scenario. Our Jerry cans are stored in side lockers, on their side, 2 20L cans per locker.
Obviously the best thing to do is NEVER run out of fuel, but this would act as extra insurance. I'm also pretty certain that letting the fuel run out can't be a good thing to allow to happen often, and I could see having this insurance could allow us to get complacent on this front.
Thoughts?
