Car kits.

I put fluids and fix-it stuff in a red Action Packers (one in each of our cars). I found a couple of black ones and decided to put food supplies and a FAK in the red ones and the tools and fluids in the black ones.

When I opened one from the first car I had a revelation: one should not store a jug of partially used antifreeze on its side.

Not all of it leaked out, but a fair amount of things got antifreeze on them...mostly things I can just wash off and be good to go again.

To alleviate this problem in the future, I thought about storing antifreeze and possibly washer fluid in Nalgene type bottles. So, a few questions:

Will the antifreeze break down the Lexan or the plastic in the lid and leak anyway?

Are the bottles I get at the local sporting goods store going to work for such an application, or should I look into the lab quality bottles?

Side note: the Action Packers are not tall enough for the gallon jugs to stand upright...or I guess I wouldn't be making this post.
