Diesel Storage.
Does anyone know if you can store diesel in a normal plastic container or does it need a specific type of storage container?

Most should be OK
I normally store about 250-1000lts but its in a bunded tank.Watch out for EPA clean up if you have spillage if you get caught. It can cost loads.
have a look at heating oil storage tanks on the internet they have the regs & guide lines. treat diesel & heating oil as the same
