I have a 5 gallon tank of gas with Stabil to fuel the generator. I'll probably set it up and run a partial fill to test it running my refrigerator. This year I bought a heavy duty outdoor extension cord for it too. For BBQ, I have 3 tanks of propane, two always full, for cooking on the Weber AND it has a side burner to boil water if needed. Camp stove with loads of little tanks for coffee and other cooking. This is earth quake country so I'm good to go for weeks. I also have a MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter so I can get clean water from my hot tub and neighbor's pools and a few of these Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottles to store the water.

I always run the gas out of it, so it doesn't gum up over time. Always use real gas, none of that 10% ethanol stuff - absorbs water and causes the brass parts in the carburetor to corrode if not drained or run empty. Costs a little more but worth not having to clean carbs - same thing for all my small engines - outboards, chain saw, leaf blower and lawn mower. Not all of which can run dry by turning a petcock and would require tilting the whole tool.
