Gasoline and other flammable liquids should be stored in

• A. The basement only.
• B. The garage only
• C. The attic or garage.
• D. An outside storage area.

Answer: (D)

Gasoline and other flammable liquids give off vapors that can ignite in the presence of a spark or heat. Storing them in an outside storage area keeps those vapors away from living spaces and ignition sources and provides better ventilation, which reduces the chance of a fire or explosion starting. Enclosed spaces like basements, garages, or attics can trap vapors and expose people, equipment, or vehicles to fire risk. Outside storage should be in an approved container and kept away from heat sources, direct sun, and any potential ignition points.
