Why can t you use plastic barrels for gasoline?

Combustion or ** accidents with plastic barrels of gasoline have been common in recent years. Why does gasoline in plastic barrels burn or**?

This is because plastic barrels are made of polymer insulation materials such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. Gasoline is a Class A flammable liquid, with a flash point of less than 28 and a lower limit of less than 10.

During filling, pouring or vibrating of gasoline in plastic barrels, the gasoline rubs against each other against the walls of the plastic barrels, generating static electricity. It has been proved in practice that when a 125-liter plastic drum is filled with gasoline, when poured, the gasoline may produce a potential difference of more than 2,000 volts in the case of high flow and fast flow rate. When the accumulated charge reaches a certain value, it may be discharged to produce electrostatic sparks, igniting gasoline or gasoline and air mixtures, and causing combustion or **.

So to be on the safe side, don't use plastic drums for gasoline.

In the process of filling flammable liquids such as gasoline, the elimination of static electricity should be considered. Static electricity is something that cannot be seen or touched. We know from life practice that non-conductive objects will produce static electricity when they rub against each other, and this electrostatic voltage can reach hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of volts.

Objects and human bodies with static electricity can be discharged under certain conditions to produce electric sparks. The energy of this electric spark is so small that people generally don't feel it. However, many dangerous goods may burn when they encounter such electric sparks.

In addition, the friction of oil in the plastic product container is easy to produce static electricity, which will lead to discharge and ignition, which is unsafe.

Plastic barrels are not allowed to be used to fill gasoline, which produces static electricity and is easy to cause spontaneous combustion of gasoline accidents.

Plastic is organic and compatible with gasoline.

Any idea why no one is there? Because you don't give points.

We have some of them here.

Is this an industry regulation? It's still a topic that I came up with.

1. If it is a private car or unit for oil, you need to issue a relevant certificate at your work unit or the neighborhood committee of your place of residence, and you can buy oil with the certificate.

2. If you need to tank gasoline for agricultural machinery operations such as rice transplanters and motorized plant protection machinery, you shall implement the relevant requirements of the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau and the Safety Supervision Bureau "on matters related to gasoline filling barrels for agricultural machinery operations".

That is, the township (town, street) agricultural machinery department or the village (resident) committee where the operator's household registration is located, and the agricultural machinery cooperative shall verify the oil consumption and operation time period of agricultural machinery such as rice transplanters and motorized plant protection machinery, and issue an oil purchase certificate; The operator can only carry out barrel filling after passing the gas station audit and registration with the fuel purchase certificate, carrying the ID card and the metal container that meets the safety requirements.

4. According to the requirements of safety supervision, public security, industry and commerce and other departments and superior companies, in order to ensure safety, gas stations should provide refueling services for vehicles in principle, and strictly control the canned retail of gasoline at gas stations.

Summary. Hello, plastic barrels of gasoline can be filled in the car, but you have to see what kind of gasoline, if it is an individual gas station, it is better not to store it for too long. Otherwise, it's still not good to burn. I hope it can help you and wish you a happy life

Hello, plastic barrels of gasoline can be added to the car, next to the wheel, but you have to see what kind of gasoline, if it is an individual gas station, it is best not to store it for too long. Otherwise, it's still not good to burn. I hope it can help you, and I wish you a happy life or a happy life

If it has been stored for too long, it is not recommended.

Can I add it to the car?

Can Gaja.

Because gasoline is a Class A flammable liquid, its flash point is less than 28, the lower limit is less than 10%, and the plastic container does not crack and can conduct electricity, so the gasoline is directly injected into the plastic barrel is easy to cause static electricity to gather, resulting in electrostatic sparks, causing accidents, so gasoline must be packed in metal containers such as iron barrels and iron kettles.

Gasoline is a flammable dangerous good, and static elimination should be considered in the process of filling flammable liquids such as gasoline. The energy of static electricity itself is very small, and the human body generally does not feel it, but many dangerous goods may burn when they encounter this kind of static spark.

When filling flammable liquids such as gasoline with iron drums, certain measures should be taken to connect and return to the ground, so that the static electricity generated by the friction between the iron drum and the liquid can be immediately exported through the ground wire. In addition, a small amount of magnesium fatty acid or acetic acid can be added to gasoline to increase the conductivity of gasoline.

Plastic barrels can not be filled with gasoline, and plastic barrels of gasoline may produce static electricity during the journey over the rock, and even cause **. Especially in the process of pouring and loading gasoline, it is possible to generate static electricity, and then **. It is best to use a metal container for gasoline, which is a conductor of electricity, and the static electricity generated can be quickly released when placed on the ground.

Plastic containers have high resistivity and belong to insulators, and if they generate electric charge, they cannot be released quickly, and they are easy to accumulate static electricity. The resistance of petroleum products is also great, especially gasoline. When gasoline shakes and rubs back and forth in a plastic container, it can randomly generate a high voltage.

As long as the electrostatic voltage of the two insulators of plastic containers and gasoline reaches 300 volts, they will produce a discharge phenomenon and flash sparks, which are easy to cause the gasoline vapor volatilized around the container to flash and even explode.
