I think the weather and how you store them is a big factor in the lifespan of plastic fuel containers. I think my oldest is a 5 gallon red plastic container that I bought in 1974. I've broken a spout or two but the plastic tank itself remains secure. These plastic fuel containers are stored in sheds protected from the weather.
