1) Gas has a shelf life. If you fill a can in the trunk & forget about it until you need it the gas will be "stale" by then.
2) Gas cans need to be vented. Having it just vent into the trunk is a terrible idea. Besides the smell there is always the fire hazard. Even just static electricity can set it off. Maybe a sealed, non-vented can in the trunk on a 100 degree day? No thanks. 3) Maybe just put gas in the car before you run out? Not that hard to do. |
