[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 22089, member: 59"] In all the mentions of the corrosive effect of these modern and forthcoming fuels no mention has been made of their effect on the other fuel carriers that we may have been using for years. I'd assume that a good steel Jerrycan can be considered the same as a bike or car tank but its cap seal will probably be rubber and therefore, even if it stays dry may fail in the fumes. From previous postings swilling the can around before pouring may be a good idea. Most of the purpose made petrol cans supplied in recent years appear to be made from some sort of a polyethelene plastic. How is this expected to stand up to the chemical changes? Will the older red ones do as well the current green ones? I've been using both colours for unleaded, and black for diesel. Are the black ones any less resistant? Cheers, [/QUOTE]
