In November 2006, a 20-liter polyethylene can for kerosene was transported in the trunk of a car, and an accident occurred in which kerosene leaked from the storage port of the container.
In the container, the convex screw part of the storage port did not meet the specified specifications (not high), so the convex screw did not adhere to the packing part of the convex screw, and the packing did not function.
