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.

    The primary reason not to use ethanol gas is because it’s hydroscopic. It’ll absorb water from the air, and now that water is in your fuel tank. You can always get fuel stabilizer to add in to prevent the ethanol from reacting with water molecules

      Thank you I will check that out, that could save me a lot of trouble and money.

      Someone did tell me somethimg similar, I want to say they used the word viscosity, but I really do not recall entirely, but they said it was something about water.
