Default Methanol Storage
For those of you who keep a few gallons of methanol around for your meth injection systems, what type of container do you use to safely store it?

Same thing here, tested and good after some months of sitting in the garage. Just make sure it's sealed tightly and you're good to go.

Chemist here. You can re-use the plastic bottles that low temp windshield washer fluid comes in as that fluid is typically 50% methanol. Just make sure that pets and children cannot get to it as even the fumes are toxic.
