Diesel In Plastic Jugs
Someone who actually has had experience with this, please reply.
How long can diesel be stored in empty gallon oil jugs, without dissolving the jug??
Will it eventually dissolve the jug??
I know they don't hold up to lawn-mower gas for very long, okay for a trip from the station, but not more than a few days , or the jug begins to melt.
Thanks.

Proper 5 gal. fuel jugs are only ~$8-10 each. (I have 6 in the garage full of fuel <Poor Man's Aux Fuel Tank>)
Why not just use the correct storage container?

I have had diesel in a plastic one gallon mobil delvac 1 jug for 4 years that I use as an emergency back up fire starter at the camp site. Have never used it in 4 years and have kind of forgot about it until you posted. It doesn't leak but I guess I haven't opened the jug in 4 years either to see what it looks like.
