Plastic barrelCan it hold gasoline? In fact, plastic barrels can hold a small amount of gasoline, but the storage capacity should not exceed 5 liters. This small amount of gasoline needs to be handled properly, otherwise it poses a risk of explosion, as gasoline is a Class A flammable liquid that easily generates static electricity, leading to fire. Therefore, gasoline stored in plastic barrels should only be used daily, and care should be taken regarding the storage environment to prevent leakage hazards.

　　Plastic barrelHow is static electricity generated?

　　Any two objects made of different materials can generate static electricity when they come into contact and then separate. A common method of generating static electricity is through friction. The better the insulation of the material, the easier it is to generate static electricity. Static electricity is produced by the redistribution of charges through friction and is also generated by the mutual attraction of charges. Generally, the positive charge of the atomic nucleus is equal to the negative charge of electrons, resulting in a balance of positive and negative charges, so no electricity is displayed.

　　However, if electrons are displaced from their orbits due to external forces, causing an imbalance in electron distribution, such as through friction, it is a process that can lead to an imbalance of positive and negative charges. When two different objects come into contact and rub against each other, electrons from one object transfer to the other, resulting in the first object becoming positively charged due to a lack of electrons, while the other object gains some excess electrons and becomes negatively charged, thus generating static electricity.

　　Key points to note for gasoline storage and transportation:

　　Gasoline is a Class A flammable liquid that easily generates static electricity, which can cause fires. If large quantities of gasoline are stored or transported, specialized transport vehicles and supporting facilities are needed to conduct static electricity. Storage areas for hazardous chemicals, especially when handling and storing liquids that are particularly susceptible to static fire hazards, such as gasoline, should be equipped with static grounding facilities.

　　Plastic barrelStoring gasoline to prevent static electricity and leakage:

　　Plastic barrelThe major issues with gasoline storage are preventing static electricity and leakage. During daily use, care should be taken to minimize bumps and shaking, and gasoline should be stored in a cool, dry place. Do not pile flammable items around. If possible, a leak-proof platform can be used.

　　Key points to note for gasoline transportation:

　　Changjin Plastics reminds everyone to usePlastic barrelTransporting gasoline is not safe. Transporting gasoline requires a hazardous goods road transport certificate and a qualification certificate for personnel in hazardous goods logistics transportation. The usual limit for small amounts of barrelled gasoline is 5 liters and should not be exceeded.

　　Summary:

　　Plastic barrelGasoline can be stored, but there are three limitations, which can be summarized in the following three sentences for everyday use:

　　1. The gasoline in a plastic barrel must not exceed 5L;

　　2. When storing gasoline in a plastic barrel, it should be kept in a cool place to prevent leakage;

　　3.Plastic barrelGasoline storage cannot be transported. Stay tuned to Changjin for more information.
