 Fuel Cans & Gas Cans | GeneratorJoe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Obviously, any container that you will trust to store fuel needs to be able to take a beating without compromising the integrity of the fuel stored inside of it.
Gas cans and fuel cans need to be durable, but they also need to be designed so that you won’t have to worry about corrosion or rust damaging the fuel inside and therefore allowing impurities to be poured into your gas tank when you need fuel the most.
Fuel cans need to be marked very clearly, and gas cans need the same type of clear labeling to make sure that no one ever makes the mistake of pouring the wrong fuel into an engine, as the consequences of such a mistake can be disastrous.
