IMPORTANT:
Diesel fuel stored in galvanized containers reacts with zinc coating on the container to form zinc flakes. If fuel contains water, a zinc gel will also form. The gel and flakes will quickly plug fuel filters and damage fuel injectors and fuel pumps.
DO NOT USE a galvanized container to store diesel fuel.

Store fuel in:

plastic containers.
-
aluminum containers.
-
specially coated steel containers made for diesel fuel.
DO NOT USE brass-coated containers: brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
