Local codes can be more restrictive, and there are National, International and Uniform Fire Codes that may apply in your particular jurisdiction. Your local fire marshal will know the proper answer for you.
There is typically a different amount allowed in storage within machines, including gas tanks of vehicles and equipment, and stored in other containers.
The NFPA 1 "National Fire Code", for example, permits a "maximum allowable quantity" (MAQ) of 10 gallons of Class I and II combined flammable and combustible liquids to be stored in "residential occupancies", although not specifically "one- or two-family" occupancies, which would be 30 gallons per control area (twice that if stored in "safety cans" or proper cabinets).

∙ 10y agoThe limit depends upon local ordinance or fire code. National fire code may permit up to 30 gallons as the maximum allowable quantity in a single-family dwelling, but local ordinance may limit it to less than two gallons in some places. You might be permitted more if it is in an approved "safety can" or if it's stored in an approved storage cabinet.
Other rules and their limits would apply if your "home" is a high-rise apartment or "residential" occupancy other than a one- or two-family dwelling.
