Ive got about a dozen empty military fuel cans that Im not using right now. Do you guys store empties open or closed? Ive got them in a garage thats not climate controlled and Im worried they might get condensation in them and rust. Most of them are from the 60s and 70s and they have minor rust in them already and I want to keep them as long as possible. I cant put fuel in them as I already store such a large quantity it makes me a little nervous. |

all my metal cans are full, and plastic is empty.
I would hit each can with some "engine fogging oil" and close them up. I have some NATO cans from WW2 that are fine, and I can't imagine they were full for 70+ years (or climate controlled), so you should be fine. |
