I have a heavy duty VP Plastic Container.
Normally buy fuel at the track and then pour in the tank.

Figure the metal tank would be more reactive than a plastic container.
Have stored fuel in the Plastic Container between races.
Not noticed any performance difference from gas stations over the certified NHRA fuels.

Sorry to hear that, never easy dealing with a sick family member, surely a reality check on what is important in life. Best of luck to the two of you!
