That's it ! Notice the can in the original photo has a pumped up appearance. I once sat a jerry can of petrol in the sun with a pressure gauge installed. The gauge showed the pressure developed to be 3 psi and it wasn't a particularly hot day.

What a horrible container for use in a hot climate. Imagine trying to pierce one of these whilst pressurised in the heat. There must have been some shocking accidents with people and vehicles being doused in petrol. This is quite apart from the likelihood of the can leaking or rupturing while being transported under these conditions.
