Use a container specified for gasoline. Michelle 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.. And is it properly vented, or do you just have a bomb sitting around? For gosh sakes, containers designed to safely hold gas can be bought very inexpensively. Stop taking a chance with your life, and the life of your family, the local fire fighters, and anyone else who gets too close to your house, and get a safe container. Or are you trying to prove something? If you are, give the rest of us some warning so we can avoid your house. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.

Unless the OP also incorrectly kept weed b gone in a big red gas can there'd have been no way to have made this mistake! And just because one can get away with something for a period of years doesn't make it a safe or sound practice. If something worthy of the combustable nature of gas occurs the OP can rest assured the insurance company will happily deny any claims if it's traced to this non conforming container. Joe |
