Hydrochloric acid is not compatible with strong bases (such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) and organic materials (such as wood).
*
Store cylinders at temperatures under 125° F (52° C).
*
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from water and oxidizing agents (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, nitrates, chlorine, bromine and fluorine).
*
Hydrochloric acid ignites on contact with fluorine and metal carbides.

I know it can be stored in plastic because I've bought & used the stuff for my pool.
I was reasonably sure it could be stored in glass as well, and it can and is.

You sir, are wrong.
