ORIGINAL: NeoLogic

Actually the downside to plastic bottles, is that if you leave it on cement for long term storage, you will loose nitro content at a pretty fast rate. Just remember to store it on a wood shelf, or carpet or anything other than cement. Metal cans of course don't suffer this fate.
Please elaborate, I've always stored my fuel on a cement floor, in a plastic bottle, and I have a gallon that's over a year old. (I buy by the case) I have never had a problem with this.
Could this be a myth, like "don't store your car battery on a cement floor, or it will discharge"? (it's not the cement floor that discharges the battery, it's the moisture across the teminals, and the long term "storage" that drains them.) Not arguing, just curious.
