Gasoline can degrade rubber by causing it to swell, soften, and lose its structural integrity. This is due to the hydrocarbons in gasoline breaking down the chemical bonds within the rubber, leading to cracks and eventual failure. Over time, exposure to gasoline can significantly shorten the lifespan of rubber components, such as hoses and seals. It's advisable to keep rubber parts away from gasoline to maintain their durability and functionality.
