Toller,

We're drifting off topic a bit, but for those who want to have a moderately
safe gallon of gas in the truck for emergencies, I've sometimes carried
one of those sealed 1 gallon containers of Coleman white gas for the
Coleman lanterns. It is more expensive that gasoline at the pump,
but still far less than 10x.

It is absolutely spill proof since it has that metal seal on top which must
be pierced before you can pour out the product. I'm sure that it has been
pre-treated with a gasoline stabilizing compound. I do not know about the
volatile components - it could still be explosive if/when the container is
punctured in an accident. When I've carried it, I have stored it an area
of the trunk which I consider to be the safest area. I also protect it as
much as possible from moving about.

Note: I've carried these gallon cans but never actually needed to use
one. But I have been assured by my chemist friends that this white
gas works fine in an auto and that a modern computer-controlled car
should start on this gas.
