Is this safe for gas storage in the trunk of my car, on REALLY hot summer days?

I don't believe you would have a problem using this container to transport fuel from the gasoline station to your home in any weather condition...However, I would never drive a vehicle with any container of gasoline in trunk for an extended period of time...

I personally would NOT put any gas storage container in the trunk of a car on a hot day, except for very short periods, of time 10-15 minutes tops, and only for emergency purposes. This is a good can, but the "no spill" feature I think is related more to the transferring of liquid from one container to another, not from one place to another - atleast that's what I use it for.

yes, the gas canister has to breathe a bit, otherwise the gas can explode. Also, be advised the ethanol in the gas can turn into water causing damage to your gasoline appliance. try not to store gasoline over long periods of time.

I used this rack on a gas BBQ grill. Temps got pretty high. There was no damage to the rack. D

To be fair engine compartment may be warm, but it should be fine.like insulation. You can layer it. Best to let the sun warm it. I use it on my trunk lid for my speakers. ..use a thick millimeter

You can,and it should remain reasonably safe. But I would get a normal gas can as its safer and can help prevent dangerous leaks. Its also safer to pour. Though if you want to put gasoline inside make sure its tightly sealed and take care not to damage the bottle. aluminum doesn't give Sparks either.

Quite possible. For the safest & best storage you should remove the gas bottle after use & the unit has cooled. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle leaking. While attached. That's how we do it.

I don't know if it will fit into a car's gastank, I use it for gasoline on boats.

I keep mine in my car and it gets hot in Louisiana. As well. No problems so far. U may want to check the batteries from time to time for corrosion. Dave

I am not sure why you would use it in the trunk of a Honda Civic but like I mentioned in my review, it is big and the holes are big as well so I wouldn't recommend for small loads

Yes the tank can hold gas. But it is not recommended since the tank isnt vented. Gas expands and contracts to the temperature around. Overall you should be fine. I do it all the time especially since sandy hit i have regualr gas in it and it works great.

Richard,Yes, you can store regular gas in the caddy, this has to be one of the handiest tools I have ever bought.

Not recommended if using gas due to lack of vent. I use mine on the porch of my cabin. If you are using it on 120AC or 12 Volt, it should work fine.

Tom, I would not suggest carting gas in this box only because of the gas fumes. I have my gas can mounted on the side of my bike, if you carry extra clothing in the Plano box as I do and other essentials you don't want your stuff smelling like gas.

Although they are more temp "resistant" than others, a hot car will probably degrade them over time. Room temp or cooler seems best.

I used it for gasoline storage and it works great. Google it and see if it approved for diesel fuel storage.

i would think this is ok to use as it goes in the gas tank. i would check with vespa or their website to make sure. i use it in the winter only. keep in mind however, this product is generally used in auto /truck applicstions and goes into a full tank of gas. i would guess the vespa holds a couple gallons so i would use maybe an ounce or so per tank. also you would be better off buying it at an auto parts place for less than half of whay you pay here. it is a relativly cheap item, the shipping is ridiculous.

I sent the cushion back, because even if I placed it in the trunk when shopping on hot days, it would get too hot. It's not good for a car in the summer months.
