No matter what the label says, it may still leach, what is the number in the plastic?. I guess you would be the best person to ask....have you tested it?

Oh no...bad numbers? But if you have been using it for a year and a half...it should be okay, unless you have been using it for things other then water, I just assumed that you have been using it for water transportation.

Glass and acrylic are the only ways to guarantee that it is not leaching. Even food safe does not mean that it will not leach into our tanks.
