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!

It burns propane and creates carbon monoxide. I would not use anywhere that is unventilated.

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 agree with the concern about storing drinking water in a plastic container of this type, not to mention the possible confusion as to whether it is gasoline. Otherwise, there is no reason that I can think of, which would prevent storing such a liquid in the container.

Should store upright. Won't spill if locktight gasket is on right. A great product if you don't like the current restrictions.

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

I do not see why not. When the gas line is disconnected no gas remains in the lines. I am very satisfied with the reliability of this machine. There is only one drawback to this generator. It is a little more louder than most.

I have not tried it but the width of the bottle seems big enough to put a gas station nozzle into it. I'm not sure I would go to a gas station for such a small amount of fuel. You'd be better off getting a 5 gallon container and using a funnel when you need the fuel.

I don't know, we are not using it that way. My husband has made it into a Texaco Old Fashioned Gas Pump. Sorry

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

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

Richard,Yes, you can store regular gas in the caddy, this has to be one of the handiest tools I have ever bought.

Airtight, no - absolutely not. It is not good for storing hazardous chemicals or stinky dead animals.

I wouldn't. Two reasons: One, this pump moves a small volume of fluid. Good for bleeding brakes but moving gallons would take a long time and you would have to empty the small container many times. Two, the tubing and container are all plastic and I'm not sure if they would react with gasoline or not. Plus, there would be a lot of combustible fumes escaping. Could be dangerous. Modern gas doesn't last long without stabilizers in it, so if it has been in the car long, it isn't worth recovering. If you have to, marine supply stores have rubber bulbs for priming fuel lines. They can be used to safely start a fuel siphon.
2009603
No, it won't. It can be laid down and be used as any gas can that you would use a siphon hose with.

I'm sure you can but I wouldnot personaly use it for the purpose of having to fill it so often.I have always used propane never tried anything else and I never had any issues.
