How Should Gasoline Be Transported?

After filling the container (less than full), wipe away any liquid or gasoline residue.
When transporting gasoline, use an approved container with the caps tightly closed.
If you are transporting gasoline in a car, use the trunk in preference to the back seat, and secure the container in the trunk so that it will not tip. If possible, secure the trunk lid in a slightly open position, to allow gasoline fumes to escape. In the bed of a truck, make sure the container is secured to prevent tipping or spillage.
Do not leave a filled container exposed to the sun while parked or while driving. The heat will cause the gasoline to expand and build up pressure in the container.
Transport gasoline for only short distances and make it your last errand before returning home or reaching your travel destination. Don’t stop for other errands when you’re carrying a filled gasoline container.
