Tetrahydrofuran smelling lab

I got a bit of THF recently and the lid must be slightly leaky, I can smell it in the lab as I walk in. Any suggestions as to what to do? Transfer to amber reagent bottle?

That is perfectly fine, provided the cap is OK. The standard red caps are fine with THF.

Ok. Do i want to fill it as close to top as possible so less peroxide formation?
