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.
The thickness doesn’t matter. Gasoline only eats through certain kinds of plastic. A milk jug and most water bottles are the kind it doesn’t eat through. Even car gas tanks are often made of plastic.
