Emergency Fuel Supply
When a disaster threatens a given area, fuel is one of the first
emergency prep items people begin stocking up on. Fuel helps power you through
an emergency by providing means to keep warm, cook, and supply emergency power
for generators, appliances and electrical tools. When choosing which types of
emergency fuel to store, consider the following issues:
- Any dangers the
fuel may pose by being stored.
- How much fuel
needs to be stored for the given emergency.
- What appliances
or tools the fuel needs to provide power for.
- How long the
fuel will stay viable for.
- How it needs to
be stored for safety reasons.
Because storing fuel for short or long-term use presents its own
set of unique challenges, ensure that you safely store your fuel supply by following these safety regulations.
When storing certain fuels, you will need to use a stabilizer to
prevent the fuel from separating. Some of the most popular fuel stabilizers are Sta-bil and Pri-G or Pri-D. Both are relatively inexpensive and can be
purchased online or at most super centers. Most preppers like to have enough
fuel on hand for at least a 72-hour period. To be on the safe side, plan on
storing enough fuel to last under your predicted worst case scenario. Put some
thought into which type of fuel you can store for this minimum period of time.
If fuels are to be stored for emergencies, then it will need to be
stored in containers that prevent evaporation and prevent the signs of fuel
phase separation. If the storage container is made of plastic, ensure that the
container is made of durable HDPE with barrier materials to eliminate
hydrocarbon emissions, has an airtight seal to reduce spills when not in use
and has a pour spout that controls variable flow, has automatic venting and
automatic locking when lever is released. Plastic is permeable and the fuel can
seep through, however; some preppers have found that metal fuel cans are best.
Some preppers suggest using auto grade silicone to coat their metal cans in
order to preserve them longer.
The six most popular fuel sources to store are listed below. To learn
more about these popular fuel types, how long they last and how to
appropriately store them, click here.
- Firewood
- Gasoline
- Diesel fuel
- Kerosene
- Propane
- Solar power
You are probably wondering how much fuel you should store for a
disaster. The answer is largely dependent on what you plan to use the fuel on
during an emergency and how long the disaster will last. If you wanted to only
run a generator with gasoline to power your home and appliances during the day,
plan on using 1-2 gallons of fuel per hour. In a 72-hour emergency where you
are reliant on yourself to provide power, plan on needing at a minimum
48-gallons of fuel.
Those who live in apartments or duplexes will probably not be
allowed to store any types of fuel in or around the buildings due to the close
proximity of living. Fuel dealers in your local area can tell you about the EPA
and regulatory issues associated with storing fuel in a tank on your property.
Contact them for this information as well as a host of other useful information
about fuel storage.
Preps To Buy:
- Multiple
amounts of plastic or metal fuel storage containers
- Seasoned fire
wood (ample supply)
- Fuel of choice
to run generators, appliances, provide electricity for 1-3 month duration

Action Items:
1. Read about the different types of fuel and decide which fuel

2. Find an appropriate area outside of the home where the fuel can
be stored.
3. Ensure that you rotate your fuel regularly and check to make
sure there are no signs on leaking.
