I think the problems used to come about in the old days when general 
stores used to have a 45-gal drum, or even a 200 gal tank of bulk 
naptha.  Over time there would be condensation and etc etc and the 
bottom of the tank could get a bit crappy.  Otherwise I don't think 
there is any real problem today with the refined grade of fuel we buy in 
cans, and store in small quantities.
