Kenny202 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Mrs out before and asked her to get me a red 5L gasolene tank / plastic jerry can. She came home with a 5L plastic oil bottle has had engine oil or something in it. It's clean inside and they clean them out to sell them for people to put gasolene in. Its to store a few liters of 2 stroke fuel for my lawn strimmer. Would sound like a stupid question but hard to buy the proper red plastic fuel containers where I live apart from Lazada. If this one will do the trick will save me the trouble and expense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Legally, no, but TiT. Our local shop sells unleaded in whiskey bottles for flips sake! We had petrol in engine oil containers for years with no issues (definitely do not use water containers, they dissolve!). But the proper job is the way forwards, it's not like they're expensive. Either way, store it outside or in your shed of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny202 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Oh I'm not worried safety wise. A few liters, outside and away from anything. I am more worried about my machine. When I bought the strimmer guy there sold me a 10l gas container. It was grey so I was wary of it but he told me was fine for gasolene and it was a small engine shop. I cursed the strimmer for 5 years. Always hard to start and ran like a dog. Turns out the plastic inside the fuel container was melting into the fuel blocking the carb up. I guess there is a special plastic for fuel. I could check if the oil container made of the same stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not the right plastic it will be slowly dissolving into your fuel and will really mess your machines up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bday Prang Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 5 litre oil bottle is fine its all ive ever used, anyway whilst the rain is here you'll be using it pretty much every week so you won't be keeping it for long and no need to fill it up every time either. Then when the weather dries up you won't need it at all for about 5 or 6 months either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
