Local codes can be more restrictive, and there are National, International and Uniform Fire Codes that may apply in your particular jurisdiction. Your local fire marshal will know the proper answer for you.

There is typically a different amount allowed in storage within machines, including gas tanks of vehicles and equipment, and stored in other containers.

The NFPA 1 "National Fire Code", for example, permits a "maximum allowable quantity" (MAQ) of 10 gallons of Class I and II combined flammable and combustible liquids to be stored in "residential occupancies", although not specifically "one- or two-family" occupancies, which would be 30 gallons per control area (twice that if stored in "safety cans" or proper cabinets).

Why not to store gasoline in a glass jar?

Gasoline can dissolve or degrade materials such as glass, which can cause the jar to weaken or shatter over time. Additionally, glass is more prone to breakage compared to materials like metal or plastic, which can lead to spillage, leakage, and potential safety hazards. It's safer to store gasoline in containers specifically designed for that purpose, like approved jerry cans.
