Default Gasoline Storage Problem?

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?

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

Have you other suggestions?

(Of course I would mark the container clearly for safety purposes.)

Thanks for your help.


Reminds me of when I was a kid. My Dad used to keep gas for the chain
saw in a 1 gallon glass jug with a screw top. The kind with the
little glass finger grip near the top. I remember one day he enlisted
the help of some neighbours to haul down a tree in the front yard. He
went to get the gas and one of the guys said "Oh, oh, here comes Roman
with the good stuff" . Still makes me chuckle.
