What container should I use to store hydrochloric acid?

For a science fair project I am doing, I will be storing organic matter in solutions with different ph levels to see the effect on decomposition. For a ph of 1, I am using 40% concentrated hydrochloric acid. (MSDS here: a href="http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/H3880.htm" rel="nofollow"http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/…/a ). What should I store this in? (closed container, I cannot gain long-term access to a fume hood). Would a simple gl jar suffice, or do I need something safer? Please help.
