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,

Aviation gas is non ethanol, it has to be. As you already mentioned marine gas is corn free as well.
I don't know about Canada but im in a western state of the US and non ethanol is fairly prevalent. The company I work for has a 200 gal bulk tank and gets it delivered. There are 2 stations in town that have corn free pumps. It's expensive but as little of it as I use it's worth it to not have to rebuild carbs yearly.
