Having previously stored stabilized gas in a 55 gal. drum I have switched to multiple cans. You must rotate fuel no matter what. I find that 6 months is about max. for me. I've had to replace fuel filters before from gunked up stabilized gas.

Cans are just handier to rotate fuel with. I can dump a can in the truck and then refill it beginning a rotation of one new can every 2 weeks. With a drum I have to wait until it's empty.

The down side is it takes more storage space with cans.
YMMV.
