PLEASE- Do not put or carry gasoline in a ziplok bag!

If  you want to carry extra gas in the car, do it in an approved
container only.  Other containers may be subject to breaking down from
the petro-chemical make up of gasoline, let alone impact resistance,
legality, etc.  Also, I would recommend purchasing a container that is
stronger than the $2.98 metal cans, and make it a small size- just
enough to get you to a station; this would be safer.
