# 20. Fuel will not be available because there will be no electricity to run
the pumps.
COMMENT: EMCOMM operators should always keep this in mind. Whether you
live in a city, a rural area...or way back in the “sticks”. Keep
your vehicle’s fuel tanks at least one-half full at all times. And keeping a
few 5 gallon gerry cans 90% filled (leave room for expansion) with FRESH FUEL
and SAFELY STORED is a good idea. (Use the fuel and refill the cans about once
every six months - Spring and Fall are good times).
