Hey thanks, I bought a plastic can from Walmart. But I'll return it and get a different brand from another store.

I have one of those plastic Blitz cans from Walmart, damn thing leaks e'rwhere. The weak link in them is where the spout connects to the can. If you can find one, place a washer or gasket in the screw on portion of it to help prevent the leaks. As for metal or plastic, I'd say plastic is better for a number of reasons. Less static transfer, don't rust, won't dent easily etc.

It's not defective, they just all leak. Basicaly what I SHOULD have said was this, don't store it in a garage. You'll have a room full of fumes and I'm sure you can figure out all kinds of neat things that might happen then. Check out the survival section of www.ar15.com, they had an extensive review of the pro's and cons' of metal vs plastic containers as well as brands.
