Does anyone know what type of plastic is most resistant to degradation through direct fuel contact. ultra pure oil. Or alternately, suggestions about long term fire breathing bottles.

Probably the ONLY thing specifically designed for storing small amounts of fuel

Sun, November 16, 2008 - 10:26 AMUltra-pure lamp oil is sold in #5 plastic containers, and I've never seen one of those go bad. But if you're looking for a fire-breathing fuel bottle, a small MSR bottle is probably the route to go, as the bottle needs to stand up to not just fuel but rough handling, etc. -
