I heard that it's potentially dangerous (due to garage heat in the hot summer months and/or lack of suitable ventilation) to store a gas can (with gas) in your garage...for such purpose as filling your lawn mower or gas golf cart.

If -- and I say if -- this is true, then why is it safe to park your gas-filled car in the garage during the same hot summer months?

What's the difference? What am I missing? Is it safe to store a gas-filled storage container in your garage; if so, any stipulations? Serious responses, please. Thank you.
