    You will definitely have to get something that is strong to internal pressures. Gasoline has a large swing as far as expansion/contraction in heat/cold environments.

    Fill up on cold days! You get more!

    Okay I'm going to geek out here. From Wikipedia:

    EDIT: Okay well pasting the table did not work... But an example is that gasoline has a Volumetric Thermal Expansion Coeficient of 950 in the same conditions that water does at 207 and ethanol has 750. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal...ious_materials


    Just leave a gas bottle out in the sun for a few hours next to a water jug and see how it reacts.
