Diesel prices are through the roof (2.3€/L) but my backup fuel storage is ripe for rotation. Hopefully the prices have gone down a bit once I finish the last canister.
I always struggled with these 30L canisters and only strained my back and made a mess trying to pour it manually. This 14€ pump sure makes thing easier.
So… you just have a bunch of simple plastic canisters filled with diesel permanently standing around on open gravel ground?
I am utterly speechless… 😳
I didn’t say where/how I store them.
I usually dump them in the city pond and then filter it out when I need the diesel.
Smart! I store mine in paper cups next to the fireplace.
That’s really dangerous unless you have a cat
on a bucket?
Yeah, maybe I did you wrong and you have a suitable storage space with containment basin just around the corner.
But, forgive me here, state of the shed/garage (?) you took the photo in didn’t quite look to me as if this was very likely…
ACHKTUALLY
It’s like watching a mild version of a wife beater telling her look at what you made me do.
Just say you made a shitty assumption without trying to justify.
You got me wrong, I am still beating OP.
Mainly because I still have the very strong suspicion that he is an actual wife beater here (“wife” being environment/society).
I just wanted to give him a decent way out to perhaps show us how this open-diesel-canister-balancing-on-a-wobbly-bucket-above-porous-ground-scenario just was a fluke and he usually handles the stuff responsibly.
As of now, OP hasn’t taken this chance but only responded evasively.
Why not just go be a condescending jerk somewhere else? You’re killing the vibe.
Wow.
Seems like I wasn’t that far of but really have touched a nerve here, I guess.
The simple canisters are specifically designed and intended for safe transportation and medium term fuel storage.
I did ask if they had any complex fuel canisters but unfortunelately no - it only has two parts: the container itself and the cap.
They are not intended to balance with open cap on top of a wobbly bucket above porous ground, though.
My reasonable guess is that the storage situation is not much better, seeing that OP did not even bother to do the fueling-up on some sealed surface area where he at least would have had a chance to deal with possible spillage.
