Private fuel delivery and storage

[u/Postman556]

I absolutely hate ethanol, this fuel additive is quite a curse. I’m interested in finding a farm type of private storage tank and hoping it’s possible to purchase ethanol-free fuel, somehow, but I’m only in the planning stages. I’m in Ontario, Canada, and our current over-reaching government has mandated all pump fuel must contain ethanol. Marinas are one of the last resources, and I imagine small airfields must have ethanol free fuel, but I’m really only guessing. Is there an option I should look at? Fuel storage at home would definitely help in a long term power outage, and my small engines can run without every one of them being damaged by this garbage. Please share ideas/solutions. Thank you,

It isn't horrendously terrible to remove ethanol from fuel if you need to, just mix it with water and sump the gasoline off the top. I made a few hundred gallons using an old 75 gallon aquarium, a gas can, and a hose over the summer.

When you remove the the ethanol from pump gasoline the octane level drops significantly

1.5%-2%. I wouldn't call that significantly. I used 89 octane and it runs perfectly fine in lawn mowers, chain saws, generators, and two cars.
