What do you keep your oil in?

[Dazza]

I use a couple babies bottles to store oil in my toolbox,they've been alright for a while but the oil has started to affect the plastic now.
I just wondered if anyone had an alternative to this? I don't always need to carry a litre bottle around with me.

I use an old 300ml shampoo bottle. The bonus being my scooter emits fumes that vaguely smell of Jojoba and evening primrose

i always use an proper oil bottle - if a litre to big get a 500mml putoline gearbox oil or brake fluid bottle (clean it first)- depending what your riding and what distance it would be good for a couple of fill ups
it will never fail due to the oil like baby bottles, shampoo etc

I use some lukozade alert bottles - they're 250ml so 4 into a litre!

I have an 11l tank and use one bottle per fill! (works out to be about 3% as you're never completely empty!

I've had the same bottles for about 2 years now... and they are easily replaceable!

Other alternatives are tropicana bottles!

I use a 500ml plastic bottle, probably Lucozade sport, saw an ad on telly saying performance is better with Lucozade sport, can't say I've noticed any difference.

I use an old Shell VSX 500mm oil bottle (they are fairly tough bottles) and I top it up with Rock oil...

Have a look around the supermarket. I found some multi-pack drinks, made for kids, have just the right capacity for oil to go into 5L of fuel. I've been using them so long I can't remember what was in the bottles when I bought them, so they must stand up to oil, and I've never had one leak.

The dreaded jug? Is this the Vespa measuring jug?

Before the dreaded jug, what were people using?
