Default Gasoline Storage Problem?

"Dwight" wrote in message
.net...
I would like to store gas/oil mix for my landscaping tools in a handy
cannister, but can find nothing smaller than the one gallon size.

Can I use something like a two quart Clorox bottle or a similar material?


NO, NO, NO, NO. In other words, NO.


Will such plastics deteriorate or mix with gas in ways which will damage
motors?


Yes, the plastic will probably deteriorate.


Have you other suggestions?



Suggestion: Stop thinking about using anything but a container made for
gasoline.

I don't recall where (maybe Home Depot, Lowe's, hardware store, West
Marine), but I've seen very small gas containers that made me think "What's
that for?", and then I wandered off to the light bulb department. Go find
one.
