        214A.15  GASOLINE RECEPTACLES.
         A person shall not place gasoline or any other petroleum product
      for public use having a flash point below 100 degrees F. into any
      can, cask, barrel or other similar receptacle having a capacity in
      excess of one pint unless the same is painted bright red and is
      plainly marked with the word "gasoline" or with the warning
      "flammable -- keep fire away" in contrasting letters of a height
      equal to at least one-tenth of the smallest dimension of such
      container.  Gasoline or other petroleum products having a flash point
      below 100 degrees F.  shall not be placed in bottles and plastic
      containers except those bottles and plastic containers which are
      approved by the state fire marshal and which are conspicuously posted
      with such approval. This section shall not apply to vehicle cargo or
      supply tanks nor to underground storage nor to storage tanks from
      which such liquids are withdrawn for manufacturing or agricultural
      purposes, or are loaded into vehicle cargo tanks, but all outlet
      faucets or valves from such excepted containers shall be suitably
      tagged to indicate the nature of the product to be withdrawn from
      such containers.
