Portable Gas Containers

[TomFin]

Hello,

I noticed ASTM F852-99 on the side of my rubber maid gas container and am now curious of the regulations.
Is anyone familiar with ASTM F852-99 standard for portable gas containers? If you've ever run across it, what are the main requirements of the standard?
Thanks
Tom

When you say gas, you mean "gasoline"?

Rubber Maid makes a gasoline container? Like a "jerry can"?

Sorry about that, just American colloquialism, yes gasoline.

And yes, Rubber Maid makes a gasoline container.

If I were to guess, it deals with the materials/design of the can for chemical compatibility, durability, and/or sealing.
