Which liquid is NOT exempt from the permit requirement when in quantities exceeding specified amounts?

Gasoline is not exempt from the permit requirement when stored in quantities that exceed specified amounts due to its highly flammable nature and associated risks. Regulations surrounding the storage and handling of gasoline are stringent because it can easily ignite, creating fire hazards not only to the immediate area but also to neighboring properties and people. Such regulations are designed to prevent accidents and ensure safety during storage and transportation.

On the other hand, certain liquids like fuel in motor vehicles are often exempt due to their contained state in vehicles, which are designed for safe transport and use. Paint and varnish can also have regulatory considerations based on specific thresholds, but regulations may allow for small quantities of these products to be stored without a permit, focusing primarily on more hazardous materials like gasoline.
