I loaned my hangar to a guy rebuilding a Challenger LSA while I was at OSH this year. He was using the cheapest Autogas around me, I'm sure. He left his sump samples in the gatoraide bottle I use for 100LL. I noticed it was clear when I got back, and he had returned to San Francisco- noticed it was clear yellowish liquid, not blue. It's a long walk from my hangar to the nearest urinal.... So I sniffed it and it was MoGas. Well I let it sit there for a couple more months before I dumped it on the gravel. It had ETCHED my previously clear water bottle. So I would agree with the experts on the KRNet that say to use something better than plastic. That car gas has things in it that are harmful to "many common" plastic products.
