After Hurricane Andrew, my father and I needed to siphon gasoline from one of our cars to use in our generator. Lacking a proper container, we siphoned the gas into a 5 gallon plastic water cooler bottle. The gasoline promptly ate through the bottle's seam and spilled out, dissolving a good size chunk of our asphalt driveway. Lesson learned: use only approved storage containers for gasoline.
