Thanks for posting that Steve. I’ll need to get a jug of gas for my lawnmower so I’ll do a test on a plastic bag and report back.

I only tested a large Ziplock freezer bag, the kind with a zipper top. I put in about an inch of gas and left it in a container overnight. There was no degradation that I could see. So it would totally work for an emergency gas syphon container. The difficulty would be pouring it into another gas tank without spillage.

They may be the cheapest, but they sure ain’t cheap. $258 for a Mutant rear tire for my Tracer900. Shinko is out of stock at Fortnine, and it’s, cough, $430 bux.
