Acids are one of the worst things you can have in your shop. If the container leaks, all your tools and machines will be damaged by rust and corrosion. Store it somewhere else, and use it somewhere else. I store mine in my shop, but they are in a heavy clear vinyl bag, tightly closed and in another clear vinyl, well closed bag, and then put in a strong five gallon plastic bucket with a tight fitting lid. Once a year or so I take the bucket outside, open it, and look for any leaks inside the vinyl bags. If none, I close it and return it to storage...
I have seen the results of shop acid leaks, and they are not pretty. There are lots of products you might not think about -- soldering flux, drain cleaners, lead acid batteries, and others, all potentially problems.
In my case it was those silicone caulking tubes that were stored too close to some files. The accelerated rusting was discovered in time to save the files. But now I store the caulking tubes in a heavy zip lock bag away from any metals.
