Storing gasoline
not -recommended
With all the talk about the energy crisis and a possible
gasoline shortage, some of my friends have suggested it
might be an idea to stockpile gasoline. Is this safe?
No it isn't. There is a natural tendency to want to store an
extra supply of gasoline for the snowmobile, or to keep
five or ten gallons at the cottage for an emergency. It's
hard to resist the temptation, but storing this highly vol-
atile liquid can be quite dangerous. While even a small
quantity is risky, a stockpile is equivalent to' hoarding a
bomb.
Pressures can release fumes
Storage of gasoline can be extremely dangerous.
Gasoline fresh from underground storage tanks is always
cool. As it is pumped to the surface at temperatures above
50°F it starts to warm up and expand. Remember last
summer when your car gasoline tank overflowed on your
driveway? This expansion also occurs in a warm garage or
basement. High pressures, powerful enough to split the
seams or dislodge the cap of an unapproved container, can
build up, releasing the highly volatile fumes which can be
ignited with a single spark. Even when stored in approved
containers, gasoline vaporizes and the vapor can escape
through a closure that has not been tightly closed. The
vapor can be drawn by air currents to various sources of
ignition such as furnace or water heater pilot lights, poor
electrical connections or a lighted cigarette. Aside from
the explosive nature of gasoline, it is also impractical to
store because its quality can deteriorate resulting in poor
engine performance.
Use only approved containers
If you must store gasoline, store it in a place separate
from the house and under lock and key. Keep it away from
ignition sources and small children, Children are fasci-
nated by closed containers and have been the victims of
tragedies because of their curiosity. All it takes is a spill
and a source of ignition. All gasoline has to he stored in an
approved container. Approved containers sold in Ontario
are labeled either CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
or ULC (Underwriters Laboratories of Canada) and are
either plastic or metal. Older type rectangular metal un-
labeled containers that are predominently red in color, not
more than ten gallons in capacity, will not leak in any
position, have a carrying handle and bear a clearly legible
warning that the contents are dangerous and flammable,
may continue in use but are not recommended.
It is illegal to buy or sell a non-approved container for
gasoline or naphtha.
Never, under any circumstances, use gasoline or
naphtha as a cleaning solvent or fire starter. There are
specific safe products on the market for these purposes,
and for cleaning of paint brushes, removing floor wax,
washing of grease off lawn mower or outboard or snow-
mobile parts.
Failure to recognize these safety rules too frequently re-
sults in disaster. Before storing gasoline check with your
ittUtrailte Agent. His company's liability can change if you
are storing gasoline in a quantity, container or place that the
.tompany considers unsafe.
