Can a 25L Plastic Barrel Hold 30L of Oil?

[SanDallas]

A 25L plastic barrel cannot hold 30L of oil; it can hold approximately 26 liters of gasoline. Here are some precautions regarding storing gasoline in plastic barrels: 1. Volume Conversion: The nominal volume of a 25L plastic barrel is 25 liters, but according to national standards, the actual volume should exceed the nominal volume by 5%, meaning the actual volume of a 25L plastic barrel is approximately 26.25 liters. Therefore, as long as the plastic barrel is produced according to standards, storing 25 liters of gasoline is not a problem. 2. Safety Risks: Since plastic barrels are insulators, they can easily accumulate static electricity and produce sparks. Gasoline is highly flammable and can easily cause fires, so it is best not to use plastic barrels to store gasoline.
