You might still be able to find metal 5gal cans in some of the smaller auto parts stores located out in the boondocks. I found metal 5gal cans in Wasilla NAPA store (sitting on a high shelf)- but admittedly that was probably 8 years ago.
My copper wire does rest against the outside of the container, but I still use a metal can while fueling the wing tanks. If I have to, I first transfer the gas from a plastic container to a metal one while away from the cub. It is a bit anal, I realize, but what would a guy do if there was a "pop" while fueling the wing tank? You'd want to save your face, but as you jumped clear I can just imagine having that 5 gal following you down! Things would get exciting fast! Just like Socialism in this country, "I don't never want to see that!"
