What is the safest container for storing gasoline?

[VanLouis]

Storing gasoline in an iron drum is relatively safer. Reasons for using an iron drum: Even if static electricity is generated, the metal drum conducts electricity, allowing charges to easily transfer without accumulating, thus preventing sparks. If a plastic container is chosen for storing gasoline, measures must be taken to prevent static electricity. It is essential to use non-polar plastic, which does not generate positive or negative charges. Containers made of high-molecular insulating materials must never be used for gasoline storage, as they can generate positive and negative charges, leading to spark explosions. Precautions for gasoline storage: It is best to use metal containers for storing gasoline, ensuring good sealing to prevent gasoline from volatilizing and leaking. The container should not be filled to the brim; leave some space to accommodate the volatilized gasoline and avoid excessive internal pressure. The storage drum should not be placed near open flames or high-temperature areas and should ideally be kept in a cool, spacious warehouse. It is not advisable to store gasoline for too long, nor is it recommended to store excessive amounts of gasoline.
