Copies of Gasoline in Made to Explode are avaiable free from Consumer Information, Pueblo, Colorado, 81009. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends the following: Don't ..store, gasoline in the. trunk of your car or in your home, even if the fuel is in a safety can. Keep gasoline away from your living quarter, including the' basement. If you must store gasoline, never put it in glass bottles. Store it in a well-ventilated area in safety cans that have been approved by a recognized testing laboratory. Do not siphon gasoline by mouth. Should it get in your lungs, it can kill you. If gasoline is accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting, but call a physician immediately. Keep gasoline locked up and out of the reach of children.
