Plastic Gas Jugs

[RI Chevy]

What type of recyclable plastic jug makes for the best gas jug? Gallon milk jugs, Orange juice jugs, Soda bottles, etc?
I tried some plastic jugs, but the fuel seems to make the plastic softer and shrink up, even with the jug vented.

Gallon or five quart oil jugs.

Ahhh. Oil jugs. Did not even think of them. I have many. Thank you sir.

I like the old metal jugs.

You can use a tightly fitted piece of fuel line and a plastic golf tee for a vent too.

The oil jugs work well, except all that I have tried don't pour fuel very well. When I try to pour slowly and carefully it seems to run back down the hug onto the workbench, tailgate, etc.

Very good point on the poor pouring ability.

Well that sucks.

There has to be a good jug then....

I seem to spill a lot of gas from my 5 gallon can of VP fuel when full. I am going to try a hand pump next time into a gallon jug.
I do have regular fuel cans made of the traditional red plastic, but was interested in mixing a few different batches of different 2 stroke oils for trial.

The gallon jugs work great for taking along extra fuel mix. Then I pour them into my regular jug with spout.

I have a 2.5 gallon fuel jug with a push button spout that is fantastic. Once I got it.....I stopped looking for anything else.

What if I preferred a wooden tee instead?

They leak right thru the center of em sometimes.

I use odd sized glass jars and mix a quart or pint at a time to do that. Coleman fuel jug they say fits the gallon VP jugs.

I got one of those in my camper. I will try that Mike. Thanks.

Laundry detergent bottles work good for bar oil.

No spill with this at all.

Yup I have one I like it better than any other.

I use a Shell engine oil canister, it has a window and a very narrow neck - rarely ever spill any fuel pouring.
