It has saved my life, well, saved me from a long walk, many times.  My '60
panel van with no gas gauge up to my '85 Westy with crushed gas tank.  When
you buy a new metal 1 gallon can, the lid is sealed pretty well, so there are
never fumes and such.  Any you can store it in any position.  Not saying that
it is perfectly safe, but an unopened can stored in a safe location can put
your mind at ease about taking long walks in strange places at the wrong time
of the night.
