Default Transporting 20 gallons of gas in your trunk and storing in your back yard in the open air question

It is illegal to haul gas in a vehicle that does NOT have a

Laws differ by state. I'm just trying to find the details of "that law" you
quote.

Just as leaving your vehicle for the purpose of refueling is illegal in
some states (NJ for example); or placing anything, like a GPS, on your
windshield is illegal in some states (California, for example); and having
your OBDII DTC codes scanned for free by the auto parts stores is illegal
in some states (Hawaii, for example); and using a radar detector is illegal
in some states (Virginia?) ... gasoline temporary storage and
transportation laws are certain to differ in various states.

Isn't there a single California lawyer on the USENET?

Can anyone find a California law that regulates the storage and
transportation of 5-gallon jugs of gasoline for personal use?
