I was an associate safety professional. Yes, you may cite OSHA all day
long.

But you said containers of less than five gallons storage. What about
transport? You say nothing about that.

Point is, 5 gallons, 25 gallons 60 gallons (see above), any regular guy
who's been around the block a couple of times knows you can get in one hell
of a mess with a cup of gasoline or less. I knew two guys who had their
faces altered for life with less than a cup of gas.
