In the US, farmers are exempt from paying sales tax on gasoline.
So, if you qualify as a "farmer", you can have a fuel (gas or
diesel) tank on your property. Distributors, though, dye the fuel,
to mark it as "farm fuel".
As far as gerrycans of fuel for your generator, I don't know if
there are any regulations on that. No one said anything when we
stock up on gerrycans preparing for Katrina.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
