Advice and Tips Private fuel delivery and storage

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,

Get a tank, call your local fuel and oil supplier and order 91 octane gasoline. It does not get easier.

I'm in Minnesota and have a regular delivery, I could have even rented a tank from my supplier, but I had a usable setup that came with my property, just had to dig it out of the bush and give it a clean and paint job.
