Hi Rodney, Todd HDPE is High Density PolyEthylene. These might help:
Identifying different kinds of plastic and their properties, American Plastics Council: http://www.americanplasticscouncil.org/benefits/about_plastics/resin_c odes/resin.html Plastics Identification -- Society of Plastics Engineers, Mid-Michigan Section http://www.midmichiganspe.org/education/identification.pdf Chemical compatability -- Chemical Resistance Database, Cole-Parmer: To search, select at least one of three criteria to search on, Chemical, Material, Compatibility Level. If you wish to search by compatability level, you must specify a chemical or material. http://www.coleparmer.com/techinfo/ChemComp.asp I had five 12-litre HDPE containers, handy-sized things with two lids, I kept all sorts of stuff in them, washed and unwashed biodiesel, methanol, methoxide, WVO. Now I only have four. One broke. It just broke - a big slice of it just fell out of the side. Luckily it was empty at the time, but for a couple of months before I'd emptied it and washed it it was filled with... petro-diesel. That's the only problem I've had with HDPE. >I'm not sure if the polyethylene is hdpe. Is there going to be a >difference, the fuel will already be washed.
