Generator Gas Storage
I have never found a good way to carry gas for my generator. I would welcome some suggestions. I rarely use a lot of gas, so a few gallons can last for weeks even in moderately high temps when I run...

Not where I live !
E10 is NOT as bad as people make out ! Just don't store it more than 2-4 weeks and make sure to run the carburetor dry after every use.
Not sure why I find this whole response sort of funny….
First, my suggestion for non e was because of someone’s sensitive issue with residual gasoline smell on their hands…
Second, if one understands the benefits and drawbacks of both types of fuel, E10 is not bad at all. Never said it was, however it is bad for the reasons you mention.
Although for someone saying it’s “not that bad” you’re overly paranoid of its effects.
Like how ridiculous is it to run the carb dry in every engine after every use? About as ridiculous as thinking the gas could go “bad” potentially after 2 weeks.
And regarding “expense”, how much is it there in SE MI? Regular gas is about $1 cheaper than here, so I gotta think non ethanol premium is hovering around $4/ gal and non e regular is around $3.50?
With your paranoia about the gas that is “not that bad” I’d think a couple dollars here or there would be a small price to pay to not have to effectively winterize every engine every time you use it, if in fact you do actually do that.
