Can this be used to store unleaded gasoline?

Yes, this bottle can store unleaded gasoline. However you should avoid any gasoline with ethanol added, especially if stored for extended periods of time, as the ethanol will corrode and pit the aluminum bottle.

You could store anything as it is very light weight aluminium so will hold any liquid.

I called Cascade Designs today to ask if these bottles could hold charcoal lighter fluid and/or unleaded gasoline. The rep confirmed they are suitable to store any aliphatic petroleum-based solvents. This means yes to both.

Since this bottle is designed to work with MSR's WhisperLite Universal and this stove uses canister fuel, white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline.....I would say yes. Having said that, you could direct an email to Cascade Designs at consumer@cascadedesigns.com with your specific questions and/or concerns.

I've been using it for that purpose for several months. I like to keep a little bit of extra gas on my bike to bail myself out, or another rider. No leaks yet. I'm sure it's not a recommended use for the product, though.

I have purchased 3 of the 11 oz containers which I use to carry extra fuel for my dirtbike. Great product, no leaks!

I Really don't know... I heard that it could, but that not the reason that I bought it for ....I store Liquid HEAT for a Trangi stove. Good luck!

No, it won't. It can be laid down and be used as any gas can that you would use a siphon hose with.

Yes it can use with regular unleaded with 10 o/0 ethonol fuel , it is not effect the warranty

No. Please don't. Spend the money and get a container made for that. The top is too small to fit the nozzle of a gas pump anyway. And trying to pour it in would require a funnel...the top is plastic and I don't know the grade but you have to think about the plastic degrading and causing leaks.

It depends upon the state laws. Some places would require you put the gas caddy on the ground. Other states would allow you to fill this in the bed of a truck. I have a low trailer that simplifies loading and unloading (using a ramp) since this caddy is quite heavy when full. Please secure the caddy FIRMLY to prevent upset. Good luck.

I don't see why not. I carried it back from the gas station without fumes accumulating in the car. I think the CA standards prevent leakage of fuel and fumes. You certainly would want to brace it so it doesn't roll around.

Quite possible. For the safest & best storage you should remove the gas bottle after use & the unit has cooled. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle leaking. While attached. That's how we do it.

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.

I don't know for sure has I have never tried it for this purpose. I will say that this would probably NOT be the best apparatus to use for this, as this device did cause a certain amount of water to spill out while it was being pumped. This is no big deal for water ... probably would be for gasoline.

I guess I am late on a reply. But I have been using for a while and has been stored for 6 months without issues (moderate conditions). I wouldn't want to store fuel for longer than 10 months anyway. When I get that long something is wrong. (Just dump in car and buy more gas). But using this during the winter in NJ works great!

Yes you can but also there are many gas stabilizers in the market you can use to avoid the gum and long term storage.

Yes. This can be submersed in gas. Rated for inside and outside of gas tank.

Great question...we haven't yet! We filled it up at a gas station. I think there is a way to let air out using those pumps if you overfill...sorry not more helpful!

Absolutely! This fuel can is made for that and the fuel flows well from the can. We use them to store red diesel for our tractor. They're well made as well and will last a long time making this fuel can a great investment.

Yes, you can do that. We have a lot of motorcycle customers that use them as spare gas containers when traveling long distances and want to carry extra fuel.

Yes but capacity becomes an issue. I piped 2small propane tanks togeather and use them as auxiliary air storage when I'm using a lot of air

If you are just intending to transport fuel, that should not be an issue. These bottles are designed specifically to carry liquid fuel and withstand the pressure necessary to operate a backpacking stove, so gasoline will not create a problem.
