Diesel Fuel

Hi everyone, since fuel is so low right now 2.34 here in FL, I was wondering if I buy a tank 100 gal. How can I protect it? I mean I really don’t see us going anywhere soon like a few months. I’m afraid of water or contamination.
Thank you.

Thank you.
How much is the price of the 100 gal tank? how many times can you use it before prices go back up and it's no longer cost effective?
If you only use it once add the price of the 100 gal tank to the price of the 100 gal of fuel and divide by 100. The Investment will pay for itself the more you use it, but just how many times will you use it before prices go back up?
Just something to consider.
Do you have enough land to store it safely? If you have an HOA do they allow it? Does your city allow it? I'm just asking because in my city every time I turn around there's an ordinance against something or the need of a permit.

Being from farm background and knowing how much storing fuel involves, I would look for other methods to save some money, Just lots of small things that add to the trouble involved. Getting fuel delivered is okay but then one needs a way to get it from the tank to the point of use. Use for only an RV seems more trouble than I would want.
