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.


I guess if you have a oil mix then you have a 2-stroke motor. I found
that I quickly got through fuel on my two stroke machines. I have a 1
gallon can, and my leaf blower in about an hour or so will easily get
through 1/2 a gallon. So maybe buying a 1 gallon container is not so
bad after all.
