Whats the best way to store gasoline for lawn mowers and other gasoline-powered equipment used around the yard?
A. Store small amounts (2 to 5 gallons) of gasoline only in approved containers. Store it in a separate storage shed, not in the garage or basement, and away from potential sources of ignition, such as a pilot light on a water heater or furnace, electric motors that might produce a spark or any open flame. Refuel gas-powered equipment outdoors after letting the engine cool. Avoid breathing gasoline fumes and never siphon gasoline by mouth. Using fuel-stabilizing additives can extend fuel quality during storage.
