Call your fire department and ask them.

In Alberta it's illegal to put gasoline in a glass jar, an antifreeze
bottle, a bucket, etc. The gas stations can get in BIG trouble if they
let you do it. Same thing if you jam you pager in the pump nozzle to
allow you to go wipe your windows while the tank is filling. (some
stations don't have the 'latch') I'm sure it is in texas too.
