You can fill a gas can at a gas station when driving there. Refueling requirements: For private cars or company vehicles, you need to obtain a relevant certificate from your workplace or residential neighborhood committee, and bring the certificate to purchase fuel. For agricultural machinery operations such as rice transplanters and motorized plant protection equipment that require gasoline in containers, follow the relevant requirements of the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau and the Safety Supervision Bureau's "Matters Concerning the Filling of Gasoline for Agricultural Machinery Operations." You must use an iron gas can for refueling; iron gas cans are available at auto parts markets and generally also sold at gas stations. According to the requirements of safety supervision, public security, industry and commerce departments, and superior companies, to ensure safety, gas stations primarily provide refueling services for vehicles, and the retail sale of gasoline in containers at gas stations must be strictly controlled. Introduction to gas cans: Gas cans are made of materials such as iron, plastic, stainless steel, and other alloys, but in practical use, iron gas cans are the safest.
A couple of days ago, my colleague wanted to stock up on gasoline for his lawn mower. He drove to the gas station with a metal can but was refused service. Gas stations now have very strict management policies and generally don't fuel portable containers due to safety concerns. Gasoline is highly volatile, and even static sparks can cause accidents. However, some places sell sealed gasoline cans specifically designed as safe containers with a shelf life of about two years. If you really want to stock up, it's advisable to check local regulations in advance, or simply buy pre-packaged canned gasoline for convenience.
