I've heard conflicting stories as to the correct color for a diesel fuel can. I assume red is for gasoline. I know I have a few kerosene cans that are yellow, but that's what it seems most are using for diesel. Is plastic or metal better?

I would really like to have one of greater than five gallon capacity and pump the fuel out. Have you seen anything like that? ....
