A gasoline storage system comprising;
- a storage area;
- and
- a porous volume filling material disposed within said storage area, said porous volume filling material including a non gasoline reactive and non-particulate generating material;
- wherein said porous volume filling material has an average orifice size of greater than 0.005 inches;
- wherein said storage system comprises one of a portable gasoline container, an underground gasoline tank, a vehicle fuel tank, or a gasoline transport container;
- and
- wherein said porous volume filling material adds between 2 and 15% weight to said gasoline storage system while taking up less than 5% of the liquid volume of said storage area.

A gasoline storage system comprising;
- a storage area including a center volume and a surrounding volume encapsulating said center volume and extending to an edge of said storage area;
- a first porous volume filling material disposed in said center volume;
- a second porous volume filling material disposed in said surrounding volume;
- said first porous volume filling material including a non gasoline reactive and non-particulate generating material;
- said second porous volume filling material including a non gasoline reactive and non-particulate generating material;
- wherein said first and second porous volume filling materials each has an average orifice size of greater than 0.005 inches;
- wherein said storage system comprises one of a portable gasoline container, an underground gasoline tank, a vehicle fuel tank, or a gasoline transport container;
- wherein a combination of said first and second porous volume filling materials adds between 2 and 15% weight to said gasoline storage system while taking up less than 5% of the liquid volume of said storage area;
- wherein said first and second porous volume filling materials disposed within said storage area comprises a coarse stainless steel sponges made from alloy type AISI 434 stainless steel;
