Bottles for keeping premix in the car!

Post by Ollie »

I bought some exol 2 stroke 5L a while back for premixing. I also bought some plastic bottles I was hoping would be good enough to keep 200ml lots of 2 stroke in the boot. However they apparently leak! (thankfully I put them in a sealable bag before putting them in the boot so the leaking didnt get too far!)

Was wondering if anyone had a decent recommendation of bottles around the 200ml~ mark that they know for certain don't leak!

I bought these in the 200ml size. Not had any leaks but I keep mine in a sealed container as well just in case :)

This is one of those questions that usually produces many opinions quite quickly, as people can be quite particular about using all sorts of fancy vessels :) Have a look at the original thread here

Might I suggest anyone wishing to contribute a new idea does so on that thread (after reading it maybe) so we can keep them all together :thumleft:

Just added this to the other thread.

I use an airline liquids travel pack from eBay. 5 X 100ml oval flip top clear bottles which come in a clear plastic bag that drops neatly into the passenger door pocket for easy access when filling up.
