Can this be used as shipped to store gasoline?

As shipped the top seal does have a compression rubber ring that appears to be a snug fit, but I do not believe it would be approved as is for storage of gasoline.

No this pump is not designed for gasoline. It may damage the pump and/or cause an explosion.

This is good stuff but I would not recommend using it in a gas tank. I ordered two and they came in a plastic bag. Problem is that one of them leaked out all the contents so I got half of what I ordered! Good luck to you.

We have the same question since it is galvanized.The diesel fuel will not be stored in the. Can for long. When purchbased.

I don't believe you would have a problem using this container to transport fuel from the gasoline station to your home in any weather condition...However, I would never drive a vehicle with any container of gasoline in trunk for an extended period of time...

No it doesn't come with fluid in it. It would be illegal to transport a flammable gas inside a container that could possibly ignite & blow up during transport. Endangering a parcel carrier would be a bad thing, besides it might encourage he/she to go postal. Lol

It's not designed for that purpose. You could place it in a sealed container with other items though.

As it is highly flammable, my guess is you can not. Recommend shipping instead.

Everyone I've ever bought way shipped empty. I'd imagine there is some rules to shipping a pressurized container via the mail. The good news is, airgas inc can fill it for around 26$ and you'll get about 4 kegs out of it.

I store 3 containers of 2 1/2 gallons each. If your storage room is going to be in an area that is not going to have any sparks or other combustion sources, I don't see any problem with storing a gas can in it. Ours is 20 feet from our house, and there are no electrical/other fire sources in the area.

No, it would be extemely dangerous to ship the tank loaded with propane, thus it is empty. You would need to find a location that offers to fill tanks such as a service station.

Sorry, I can't answer your question....I purchased this item solely to transfer gas from one container to another. It works great for this!

i would not use it for fuel. mainly because you will be pumping fumes out and I consider that a fire/explosion hazard.

As with any gasoline storage vessel, carrying it in the trunk really isn't a good idea. Be that as it may, this particular can is very well sealed, and is very sturdy. I believe that other than it being punctured, as in an accident, it should be safe to travel.

Without specific data, the answer can only be that the item is for used with a ceramic crock. How and to what extent it may safely and effectively adapted for use is conditioned by the parameters of its specified purpose. Generally, Gasoline use and storage should be only in containers clearly and specifically marked and intended for that purpose. For obvious reasons, these spigots are not consistent with requirements to safely store and dispense petroleum products. I would recommend consulting the Mfg. and local Fire Authorities concerning the specifics of containers for the storage and dispensing of flammable liquids.

Wouldn't be easy as its vacuum sealed when shipped . You could fold it but it wouldn't be small .
