This reminds me I need to get out all the genny's put fresh gas in them and run them up under a load.

Hurricanes in the news always motivate me about such things.

Exactly why I'm about to cycle out all of my stocked up gas. My genny takes gas, so no cans of gas = no genny.

Consolidated my gear to see what I have. After that I'm breaking some it out again to keep in separate places.

Wife is mad I "trashed" the basement for the last two weeks as I have had limited time to organize it. Part of that included moving shelves and organizing stuff on the new set up.

Discovered a few things I have less than I thought. I fixed that with a few clicks on the computer. Bought some water resistant printing labels to put on the front and top of all the boxes.

We cycle ours out pretty regularly. If the pump prices are stupid high we fill the trucks from the reserves and rotate the newer to the front. When prices come back to reasonable we fill up the containers.
As I mentioned a few posts back we need to cycle all the genny's.

Get some 100LL Avgas if you can, never gets old.

I do use Stybil but was not aware of this fuel.

 

[churchmouse]

Just looked and Wowza that fuel is spendy.

I'm not sure what the differences are in refining but I know it has a powerful antioxidant mixed it. Airport maintenance swear by it and it's for sale down south here at some chain saw places. They've found out over the years that even mixed with oil, it doesn't go bad.

Great in cars too, like Sunoco 260 only better.

That would be worth using for reserves you do not intend to tap unless the SHTF for real.
We have decent reserves to tap.
We never let the tanks get under half in the trucks. We have a pump to draw from them if need be.
You chemists are worth your weight in gold.....

Is it unleaded...???

 

[Leadeye]

No, it's got that old fashioned tetra ethyl lead in it. The Charger likes it!

I should have said like 260 of the 60s.

That would run ok in the gennys.
Not so much in the trucks

I ran it all the time in the boat, listening to that 327 Fireball running just behind you was great.

A mechanical symphony.

Only engine I ever owned with solid lifters.

They play a music all their own. If you are in tune to such things.

Picked up some MagPul 15 & 17 mags that were on sale. Found some 10mm Brass at local gun shop decent price. Always on the lookout for ammo and mags at decent prices.. Also found some Gen4 Glocks at very reasonable prices..
