I don't know if it's ever been suggested to create a sub-forum for gasoline (or fuel liquids generally) but it would seem natural for this website.
Anyways, I was wondering if it was possible to alter retail pump-gasoline to render it suitable for long-term storage (ie 1 or more years). I know there are fuel stabilizer additives, the performance of which I don't know (please comment if you know). I was thinking re-distillation might remove the unstable components? I guess I'm looking for some hard-core chemistry theory here. Also, maybe the possibility to start with marine or aviation gasoline? Perhaps they are naturally more suitable for long-term storage with less preparation?
(how about adding "stabilize" and "gasoline" as usable tags?)
