Chemistry lesson - petrol and some plastics do not go well

Dear fellow enthusiasts,

A reminder that not all plastics can handle petrol. I was using this measuring container from kitchen to prepare a 2T mix for my Scott. I left the petrol in the container overnight and the results were obvious. Petrol just went through the plastic container. The Scott ran fine however!
