Recovery your correct. On our rigs OSHA will not let any petroleum or combustible substance be in plastic due to static electricity being store on plastic.
At home I use plastic for both gasoline and diesel, 5 gallon with the new rocker pour spouts. They work very well for me. If I had to travel a long distance for fuel and keep greater quantities, my bulk tank would be metal.
I hear you on the government but in over forty years of being around construction and manufacturing, OSHA has brought about huge improvements in job safety. It used to be that you could be directed to do something patently unsafe or forced to use unsafe gear but thankfully those days are long gone. Folks will P & M about most anything but just look at seat belts. Bring 'em home alive, I say.
