I've heard that motorcycle gasoline doesn't fit in plastic buckets, but I already have them in plastic buckets and they have to be used. What should I pay attention to?

I've heard that motorcycle gasoline doesn't fit in plastic buckets, but I already have them in plastic buckets and they have to be used. What should I pay attention to?

Answer:

When gasoline is added to a new plastic barrel, it is easy to react with gasoline and other chemical elements left behind on the surface of the new plastic barrel to cause spontaneous combustion. But the odds are small, but be careful. Before use, the best cleaning plastic bucket, corresponding safety, since already used, should pay attention to avoid sunlight exposure, dangerous.
The general conditions of the time don't use plastic barrels, plastic barrels of oil cannot but to do the following:1. fill the plastic bucket and leave no space to prevent the heat from rising.2., plastic barrels of oil, it is best to join the motorcycle tank once, there is no residual gasoline.3. empty barrels, the plastic bucket to remove the lid, do not cover the purpose is to let the barrel of air and atmospheric circulation.In the first 4. open the plastic bucket away from the motorcycle fuel tank before refueling, leave the asphalt on the land, in order to open the lid after the end of electrostatic discharge, with wire must first insert the earth, the other end is inserted after the oil, then it allows access to no danger of anything going wrong, motorcycle refueling.
Plastic bucket is made of polyethylene, PVC and other polymer insulation materials, non conductive objects in friction when it is easy to produce static electricity, the electrostatic voltage can reach up to tens of thousands of volts. Objects with static electricity will produce electric sparks under certain conditions. Many inflammable materials may burn or explode when they are exposed to this kind of electric spark.
