If you put a plastic gas can on a plastic bed liner it can generate static electricity. If you fill the can while it's in the truck it can spark and blow up.
Always take the can out of the truck to fill it.
I want a spray in liner, maybe a DIY job.
I know metal can's have this problem, I did not know plastic did.

I like plastic.Spray in is high priced.PLUS I like stuff to slip around.I've always had tonneau covers on my trucks.Hauling horse feed,luggage,garbage etc.I use a heavy tined yard rack to push or pull stuff from front to back.Can't do that with a spray in or even a bed mat. The amount of rub from plastic to me is minor over a 12 year time frame.
Its unanimous! Spray on it is! I looked into it today. I was suprised when he told me they had to burn the factory paint off the bed to 200 degrees to put the spray liner on. We'll see!
I had mine done before I took delivery....I had a drop in on my last truck - way too slippery.....stuff flies around. The spray in is grippy and looks sweet.
I had the spray in liner- damaged everything I put in the truck. Scratches the hell out of everything. Go with a good old liner. I have the Dodge Liner- no problem. Remember, its a truck.
The one thing I'm really not crazy about with the 'Mopar' Dodge bed mat is the required drilling needed to secure the mat piece to the tail gate. I hate any accessory that requires drilling, especially on a brand new truck.
