All of the doughnut shops here, have what they call kalaches, but none have fruit, they all have meat. The sausage, is your basic pig in a blanket, the off it also with cheese, and jalapenos. Then there your boudin, boudin and cheese, your pulled pork, your ham and cheese, your turkey and cheese, and some do a boudin roll up, that is boudin in an egg roll, and most of them offer some kind of egg, and whatever meat sandwich, along with a full line of doughnuts.

I always loved coming to Lafayette, y'all have so much yummy food! And pretty much every place has something tasty....

It seems like in this thread we've had the full run of experiences with the various choices, and I've got to write some of that off to variations in fuel formulas, environmental conditions, and usage patterns. I am feeling pretty confident at this point in my plan of using Sta-bil with local regular fuel from a station that has pretty good turnover. I don't really want to store more than 30 gallons as that's what I have capacity for (4 5-gallons, 2-2 gallons, and the gen tank itself is 6+) other than the vehicle tanks, and I can reasonably dump all of that into the dually (34 gallon tank) to burn it off before it goes bad, then freshen all the cans up.

So with all the input in this thread I did settle on what seems to be the "easiest" in some fashion - locally-bought regular fuel, nothing special, although it's from a good brand station (Exxon, and the place is only about a year old) - and I've added Sta-bil '360' to it.

For the storage I've bought 4, then added 2 more, of the Gelg brand steel NATO type Jerry cans from jerrycan dot com (no "S" on jerrycan, as jerrycans is a totally different company.) Saved a few bucks per can buying blems and I honestly can't tell there's anything I would consider blemished about them. They also came with a free rubber nozzle for each can so I've got nozzles for life. Pretty happy with these cans.

Some of y'all probably saw in another thread where I dug up a plastic 5 gallon can from my storage unit and filled it up, only to find it leaking at the seam, so I emptied it, flushed it out, and chopped it in half for the trash. That's what prompted me to pick up another couple steel cans.
