2 cycle mix will eventually dissolve the milk jug. Use a container
specified for gasoline.

Everybody says this, but that jug has been in there for 3 years and is
still intact. Perhaps the plastic jugs I get are different than others.
Mine say HDPE ( high density polyethelene) which is the same material
that is used for automobile gas tanks..

My leaf blower ran out of 2 cycle mix today. I keep a milk gallon jug
of ready mixed fuel in the garden shed. I took the jug and filled the
tank in the blower. I started it up and it ran for about 10 seconds
then died. No amount of fiddling with the choke or gas lever would
allow the machine to run. I thought perhaps the fuel had gone bad in
the shed so I decided to mix up another batch. When I went to dump
out the old contents of the jug, I happened to see a hand written
magic marker note on the jug. "Weed-be Gone. 2 Oz per gallon". Well,
I am sure no weeds will be growing in my leaf blower. :-)
