Rules on what can be in a hangar

It amazes me that it's OK to park a 40 year old airplane with 100+ gallons
of fuel held in old rubber bladders with half a dozen ancient quick-drains
in a hangar, but if you have a brand-new 5 gallon govt-approved gas can for
dumping fuel samples, the airport manager throws a fit.

Could it be that firefighters hate surprises?

A 10 pack of T-Hangars is on fire. Is it not already a surprise if the
hangars have everything from ultralights, 152's, 172's, Bonanza's, Apache's,
Skymasters, etc? Depending on how they are equipped, the delta could be
well over 100 gallons from one hangar to the next.

I meant the the little containers that go bang at your feet while
you're trying the haul the bird out of there in a spray of mist before
its contents go boom.
