It's really funny how everyone is talking do's and don'ts of storing gasoline in the garage. No one is talking about the propane tanks of your barbeque being stored in the garage for 6 months. which I think much more dangerous Up north, you NEVER store a propane tank in an enclosed space.

propane gas tanks are also never stored in your home just like gasoline

What?? How about you dont actually store it. Need it for a mower or any other thing, go get whats needed. Storing gas if not done the right way is extremely dangerous. If you dont mind blowing up your house, I might if mine blows up if youre my neighbor

Of the 10's of millions of houses that store gasoline in their garages, how many explosions have you ever heard of?

I’ve always stored my gas in the garage.

This is the right answer. Rest of it is telling you how to build a beach!

Have you tried to siphon recently?

Most modern cars and trucks have a ball or other obstacle that prevents inserting a siphon hose down the filler neck. You will be sorely disappointed if you try to siphon gas for emergency use.

This is the most sensible comment in this ridiculous thread. I thought, "this has got to be a joke", but siphoning gas out of your car...

Read a book, donate your time, take a walk, just don't worry about trivial matters.

Mortal1: you must be Irish or have been to Ireland to use the word “Bollocks” fairly common word at home in ireland. Reading gave me a laugh

I suggest you try doing that before the need arises. Most modern vehicles make this very difficult if not impossible.

Gas is stored in millions of gas tanks, in garages around the world. Your car has a gas tank, your golf cart has a gas tank, your lawn mower, weed whacker....... one more tank won't matter.
