Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution. 

Zn+CuSO4 ---> ZnSO4 +Cu

Hence, copper sulphate solution cannot be stored in a zinc pot.
