We often see such an eye-catching slogan at gas stations-"It is forbidden to use plastic barrel gasoline." Do you know why?

adding gasoline directly into plastic barrels is very likely to cause fire or explosion, because the resistivity of plastics is relatively high, and it is easy to generate accumulated static electricity. In the process of plastic barrel gasoline, gasoline and plastic barrel produce friction, which is easy to produce electrostatic sparks, especially in dry and high temperature weather, igniting gasoline or mixed gas of gasoline and air will lead to combustion or explosion. Therefore, it is forbidden to use plastic barrels to directly add gasoline in gas stations.
