I'm going to be experimenting with parkerizing and I'd like some secure containers to store the mixed solution. I just don't want red gas cans to avoid confusion since have a few. I've heard diesel cans are yellow. Anybody know where I can get them locally? My local Home Despot was no help. Any other types of containers that seal well would be fine, not just a bucket with loose top.

Might want to head back to Home Depot... you can get lids that seal up good and tight for standard 5 gallon buckets (think house paint) for pretty cheap. A lot cheaper than a fuel can.
And yes, diesel cans are yellow, and more expensive than "normal" red ones (cause for some reason EVERYTHING in diesel world is more expensive).
diesel cans are yellow
kerosene cans are blue.
try murdoch's.
Best bet is a construction supply store like white cap. Or an equip rental store.
walmart carries the yellow diesel containers. i just bought 6.
Or Big R, if there is one near you.
just saw a bunch of silly colored buckets at the home depot the other day
Steve-
You don't want to store your park solution in metal containers. It is phosphoric acid based and will eventually eat through the cans. It will also kill the solution.
1 gallon windshield washer solution jugs work fine.
That's why I wanted the gas cans. They haven't been metal in years but heavy plastic. Unfortunately, the local Walmart doesn't have them. I have to stop by Murdoch's for other stuff. I'll try there.Quote:
