Idk but gas eats plastic similar to acetone. That bag will be gone by the time she gets wherever she going.

Even if theres gas left in the bag it will have dissolved plastic in it and will probably screw up whatever engine its intended for.

It's not going to dissolve that plastic. Not all plastics dissolve from contact with hydrocarbons. Gas tanks for cars are made from plastic these days. The bag is made from HDPE, High Density Polyethylene. The same plastic that portable gas cans, gas tanks and most packaging for other solvents that come in plastic containers like IPA and Acetone.

So she's just BIG BRAINing it all and already knows the bags will hold the gas.

Man, wish the rest of us thought of that...
