scooby_doo_do Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Just mowed the lawn and left the 5ltr jerry can (Plastic green type) outside for about 2 hours.. Was about 1/2 full with petrol. Just moved it to the shed and realised the heats swollen it up like its about to go pop.. Scared now... Left it in the shade in the shed as not too sure what to do with it at the mo.. Was going to slowly undo the cap - but thought it might explode... going to go and check that the sheds still there........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Throw it on a bonfire and run, oh and film it too. Only joking Why not leave it in a shadey area for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyrick Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi, Happened to me a couple of years back. No real harm done but my petrol can's been pretty round every since! :-) Just leave in the shade for a while it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 petrol wont go bang without a lot of heat i.e. a flame or a LOT of compression (much more than a jerry can could handle) just make sure there is no-one having a fag near you and slowly unscrew the lid to release the pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
