Sittin' at work after hours last night and saw some of the postings about fuel storage.
There's a lot more to consider in the plastic vs. metal . . .
Just some suggestions ... take em or leave em.
And, among other reasons not listed, your post illustrates some key reasons why I have a tri-fuel generator connected to the Natural Gas line. The only gasoline I store is a small amount for the lawn equipment.
Now diesel, which is far more stable and far less flammable and does not have explosive vapors . . . I have about 1000 gallons of that stuff in real storage tanks.

There's a lot more to consider in the plastic vs. metal debate besides which one lasts longer. I hope you gents aren't storing any of this fuel in plastic containers within an attached structure. That is a recipe for disaster. In the event of a fire, plastic container failure can and will change the outcome dramatically. There are container size considerations vs. rate of usage and the amount of container headspace allowed. There are laws/ordinances regarding the transport of flammable liquids and a patchwork of selective enforcement. Google the stuff.
The ideal set up would involve self venting metal cans (prefer w/spark and flame arrestor) stored inside a flammable safety storage cabinet. I know the stuff ain't cheap but it's worth not watching the fireball ripping through your (hopefully unoccupied) house. At the very least, make sure your plastic containers are self venting and stored away from inhabited structures.

I don't think lone was thinking of storing 1 obamaillion gallons of gasoline just a few trillion.
obamaillion is the new unit of measure since the US Debt is going out of control.

BTW how was your train? I took the 3:15 and it was packed! Seems like everyone was trying to rush home before the snow. & so far it's been a joke of a snowfall.
I was on the 5:10, it wasn't terrible. Sat in the first car vestibule to avoid most if the people tho.
