Can You Buy Gasoline with a Can at the Gas Station?
2 Answers
You can buy gasoline with a can at the gas station. Here are the relevant requirements: 1. For private cars or organizational use: If it is for private cars or organizational use, you need to obtain a relevant certificate from your workplace or residential neighborhood committee, and you can purchase gasoline with the certificate. 2. For agricultural machinery operations: If it is for agricultural machinery operations such as rice transplanters or motorized plant protection machinery that require gasoline in cans, follow the relevant requirements of the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau and the Safety Supervision Bureau's "Regulations on the Matters Related to Gasoline Can Filling for Agricultural Machinery Operations." The daily gasoline filling amount for each rice transplanter or motorized plant protection machinery operation should not exceed 20 liters, and the daily gasoline filling amount for ride-on rice transplanters should not exceed 30 liters.
I've been driving for years, and this is a crucial issue in our line of work – you can't just use any container to buy gasoline. Gasoline is highly flammable; it can explode upon contact with fire sources or even static electricity. I've heard numerous accident stories in car owner groups. For instance, there was this guy who brought his own metal can to a gas station. Some fuel spilled on his car, and under sunlight, it almost caught fire. Gas stations strictly prohibit using ordinary containers for fuel – it's all about safety. You need certified containers like approved metal cans, and even then, you must get the gas station's permission. Most times, they'll only dispense fuel directly into your vehicle's tank. Safety comes first; don't cut corners when it involves community safety. My advice? If you need backup gasoline, purchase certified prepackaged containers from authorized dealers or check local regulations for proper application procedures.
