could a container made of abs plastic withstand 330 to 350 deg f asphalt poured into it

No. The vicat softening point of ABS (the temperature at which it looses all its mechanical strength and has similar properties to chewing gum) is about 105ï¾°C (217ï¾°F). The most cost effective material that can withstand this temperature is crystalline PET.
