Today I put 6 year old gasoline into my Nissan Xterra!

It's a wonder to me that we don't hear more stories about fuel/gasoline household storage mishaps. The above posts make no mention of safeguards like you see in industry (flammable lockers, materials of trade exemption etc.)

Or stored a good distance away from the house in a ventilated shed - no electricity (that’s mine) …

Old(e10)fuel kills my outboard carbs.
Old non ethanol no roblem

I store gas for an emergency like an earthquake. I can only get e10 so I put stabilizer in it and rotate it out every 6 months or so.

I've read the HEET is supposed to be the best stabilizer, why? I don't know.

It's not. Its just alcohol.
Methyl alcohol in HEET and isopropyl alcohol in Iso-HEET

If alcohol was a stabilizer then ethanol gasoline would be more stable than non ethanol gas.
But the opposite holds true.
