Default Storing gasoline/oil mixture question


"TOM KAN PA" wrote in message
...
Not the usual question as, how long, how, etc.?
I use the same mixture for my Toro Mower and my Craftsman Line Trimmer. I

keep
the mower and the fuel in my back yard shed, and the trimmer in the garage
because I use it 90% of the time in the front of the house. The trimmer

holds
less than a pint of fuel and doesn't get, shall we say, good gas mileage.
OK, TOM, CUT TO THE CHASE!
I frequently have empty gallon containers that come with the Torch Fuel I

buy
at the world's largest XXX-Mart store.
OK, OK, here's my question!
Can I store some of the fuel mixture in the garage in one of these gallon
containers? Say about two quarts. I'm not interested in the legal aspects,

just
wondering if the fuel mixture will "disolve" the container resulting in a

leak.
Thanks for you patience in scrolling through my question to get to the

point.



What's torch fuel? Kerosene? Gasoline is much the same only lighter
molecules (same as butane is even lighter and mineral oil is heavier)
Should be OK. See if you can smell the gas seeping through the plastic. Best
really to get one of those one gallon heavy plastic gas containers with
pouring spout.
