Can spare fuel be carried in the test car?

[MacLukas]

Spare fuel cannot be carried in the test car. It is illegal to carry spare gasoline in a car, as gasoline may cause an explosion in the barrel, which is a very dangerous behavior. Therefore, for the sake of personal safety, it is not allowed to carry additional gasoline for road trips. The following items pose safety hazards when left in a car under high temperatures: Perfume: Placing perfume in front of the windshield is like having an unpredictable bomb. In a closed car exposed to sunlight, the temperature can reach as high as 50-60 degrees Celsius, while the safe usage environment for most perfumes is around 45 degrees. Mobile phones and chargers: Chargers and mobile phones have the risk of exploding under high temperatures, and there are many low-quality counterfeit products on the market, with even genuine products posing explosion hazards.

I suggest not casually carrying spare fuel in experimental vehicles. I once tried taking a small fuel canister to the testing site, but after a bump on the road, the container cracked and gasoline leaked all over the trunk, creating a terrifying smell. Experimental vehicles are precision testing equipment where high temperatures or vibrations can make fuel highly flammable and explosive. If sparks or high temperatures occur during testing, the risk of fire increases several times compared to normal conditions. I've used those red safety fuel cans—they're more expensive but have better seals and are relatively safe when secured in a corner of the trunk. However, you can't carry large quantities, and they often get inspected or fined under regulations. In short, it's better to carry less, refuel frequently, or keep fuel cards as backup. Safety first—don't take unnecessary risks.

As a frequent driver, carrying spare fuel in an experimental vehicle is quite troublesome. Fuel evaporates quickly in hot weather inside the car, producing strong odors and contaminating the interior. In case of leakage and exposure to fire, it can explode, posing a high risk. Experimental vehicles experience a lot of vibrations during testing, and carrying fuel increases the risk of accidents and affects test results. Buying certified safety cans is an option, but it's costly, takes up space, and has limited capacity—refueling in advance is more convenient. Legally, police may fine you for improperly stored fuel containers, and testing environments are even stricter. I must say, after weighing the pros and cons, it's unsafe: gasoline is cheap but poses significant hidden dangers. It's best not to carry it in experimental vehicles; focusing on controlling the test environment is more reasonable.

Carrying spare fuel in an experimental vehicle? Be cautious. Gasoline is highly flammable and prone to accidents when stored in a car, especially during experimental tests where leaks or explosions are more likely. I've used safety cans secured in a corner—barely acceptable, but risks remain: barrels deform in heat, and vapor buildup can ignite. Regulations prohibit bare fuel containers, and experimental environments demand strict compliance—don't improvise. Carry minimal amounts and secure them properly.
