This house came with a very large pole barn garage. Inside is an above ground 500 gallon fuel tank. It says Hamilton County Co-op in red letters. It reads empty. It still looks brand new and shiny, so I am guessing it is worth quite a bit of money.
It looks like this

It does have a number on the thing. We have never gotten it filled since we have been here though.
Had a few questions though. Would it be wise to fill the thing for fuel storage in case of a SHTF situation? How long does fuel last in a tank like this? months, years, decades? Can't remember, but I am pretty sure it is unleaded, not diesel, but I don't pay much attention to the thing, it's sort of just there but not seen.
The other questions was, if fuel storage is not feasible ( such as I would have to yearly or so consume and fill the tank, and keep a fresh stock cycled ) do you think we could sell the tank? It says Hamilton County Co-Op * but doesn't say the property of *, I have never heard of them before. If so, what market of people would be interested?
