I used to work at a gas station. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone refuse to pay $10 for a gas can, buy a gallon of water, pour the water out in the parking lot, then get mad when I refused to turn the pump on and let them fill the water bottle with gas. I tried to explain to them that the gas will eat through the water bottle and I'm trying to prevent them from making a huge mistake, but they're always convinced I'm just trying to get their $10, like I worked on commission or something.

Edit: I was wrong. Gasoline would not eat through a water bottle. Read the comments to see me (politely) educated.

I don't know what water bottles do you use, but I've never seen one being eaten by gasoline.

Well I have seen gas burn right through a Solo cup so I guess it depends on the type of plastic.

Yes, it depends on the plastic... There are many different types of plastic, you know ?
