Not exactly safe for gasoline
I bought this to use for carrying spare unleaded gasoline on my motorcycle. Nothing I could find in the manufacturer info says you CAN use it for gasoline, but it doesn't say you CAN'T either. So I went off of reviews from people saying they've used it for gasoline with no problems, and I purchased the bottle. What I discovered is it does carry unleaded gasoline just fine, with no leaking, no fumes...however, due to a slight (and nearly inevitable) amount of overflow while filling it, I discovered the red and black paint is NOT gasoline safe. the paint turned sticky, the black paint came off on my hands and the paper towel I wiped it down with is now fused to the bottle, not unlike Jeff Goldblum and the fly in that movie I can't remember the name of. So I'm giving a 4 star review because it works for what I wanted (gasoline), but considering the generic use of the term "fuel", a disclaimer about the paint not being gasoline safe would have been appreciated.
