Not worried about the interaction of fuel and plastic? Imagine that melted and heading for your fuel pump and multiple carbs.

That would be my concern too. However, I've tested some of my own pill bottles, and whatever plastic they are made of seems impervious to gasoline, oil, ethanol, carb cleaner, etc.

Getting an air-tight seal with the original lid can be tricky, too. I have to add O-rings to mine or they leak.

Radall- I don't even want to know what you are hiding in pill bottles in your tank

Oh, it's nothing illicit, as far as you know :smile:

I use them to store my pre-measured doses of lead substitute and upper cylinder lube.

On a side note, I saw a TR3 once that had the spare tire door puttied into place and painted over, then a hatch cut in the floor of the trunk. The owner had picked it up at a Customs auction, though, so I guess they figured that one out :smile:

Lorazepam definitely will not work in a TR if installed like that. :eagerness:
