Floridians, those of you in the Gulf Coast States, and East Coast FJer's, is everyone ready for the 2006 Hurricane Season?

Anyway, I thought I'd share some of my favorite links with my fellow FJ Crew:

Keep your tank full at all times. Just in case. You dont wanna end up at Joe Robbi post storm.

I always keep 35 Gallons of Gasoline, on hand, year round. That's why I'm very interested in the FJ "Fuel Can Mod" as seen at the SEMA show.

So, I'm guessing the smoking jacket and the cigars are a no-no in your garage?

Hey, at least we won't have to worry about getting stuck in traffic. Pop it in 4 wheel drive and create your own evacuation route!!!

Finally, someone else here sees the true method to my madness!

I wish I could drive my FJ after the FJ hurricane aftermath. I can drive all around while ppl get stuck in freeways.

Tony - additives to gasoline help stabilize gum formation. However, gasoline does have a shelf life. One of the components that makes up blended gasoline contains olefins. Olefins react with air over time and form gum. I recommend that you pour from the containers into your vehicles every 6 months, and then refill containers. If the gasoline in the containers has been there 12 months or more, I would suggest that you mix one 5 gallon container with a tank fill-up. Dilution is good in this case. As gasoline destabilizes and forms gum the color becomes a darker yellow. My 2 cents.
