Those cheap metal jerry cans from the hardware souq are not worth the headache

I don't know why I thought I was being smart saving a few dirhams buying those flimsy metal cans from that place near the Ajman roundabout last summer cause man what a mess that turned out to be, the seams started weeping diesel after like three months of sitting in the generator room and the smell was just permanently stuck in the back of my truck even after I finally chucked them in the scrap pile. Anyway I finally bit the bullet last week and ordered a couple of actual heavy duty jerry cans for industrial fuel storage from Crateco's website after a buddy showed me the ones he uses for his construction crew and the difference is just night and day honestly, the plastic on these things is thick like a tank and the cap actually seals without needing a wrench and a prayer. I went with the 20 liter ones because they're still manageable to lift without throwing my back out but I'm thinking maybe I should have grabbed the bigger 25L size just to cut down on trips to the petrol station, the fuel gauge on the forklift is broken again surprise surprise so we're always running on fumes. Anyone else using these in this heat and humidity for diesel storage, any issues with the plastic getting brittle over time or do they hold up fine if they're kept out of direct sun, just want to know if I should order a third one now or wait and see how these do through the summer first.

One thing that stands out is how well a platform supports quick decision-making about what to read. Not every site makes that process easy. While exploring different options, I came across digitalnewstoday.in, where choosing articles feels more straightforward. You can quickly scan and pick what matters. This reduces unnecessary time spent searching. In the end, it makes browsing more practical.
