Can You Buy Gasoline at a Gas Station and Take It Away?

[ConnorFitz]

Gas stations can fill gasoline into containers for you to take away. This is not illegal. Introduction to Gasoline: Gasoline is classified as a key hazardous chemical. The state mandates a real-name registration system for the purchase of key hazardous chemicals and strictly controls the retail sale of packaged petroleum products at gas stations. In March 2009, the State Administration of Work Safety, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued an announcement stating that a real-name registration system for the purchase of key hazardous chemicals would be implemented, and the retail sale of packaged petroleum products at gas stations would be strictly controlled. Gasoline Purchase Regulations: Units purchasing key hazardous chemicals must present copies of their business licenses, the purchaser's resident ID card, and, for the purchase of highly toxic chemicals, the original purchase permit issued by the public security department, along with other relevant supporting documents, to purchase from units that have obtained a production safety license for hazardous chemicals or a hazardous chemicals business license.
