as a kid I remember my dad putting gasoline in plastic containers when it was just for "a few hours" or "days" before it was needed in the gasoline lawn mower. Then, forgotten, a few days later we would find the empty weirdly morphed container and a smell. hmmmm.... gee...
What few people realize is that not all plastic is the same and some hydrocarbons (and their additives) don't play nice. Some plastics dissolve, others soften. Because, well, plastic is hydrocarbon too developed from fossil fuels. Gasoline containers are specifically made to withstand a range of compositions and volatility. In any case, these folks are moving volatile flammables in unsecured bags typically inside small closed environments.
