Fuel can in hot car

Benzene? Banned from Plessey in the (?) 70s as carcinogenic then allowed in petrol to solve the problem with no lead. Car is short for carcinogenerator.

With diesels - ie most buses, taxis and many trains being very much worse.

Mine is a plastic one, and it's more spherical than when it was new, but it's still pretty stout. Never had problems with the cap either.

A can of diesel lives in the car, and the petrol comes with us on holiday for stoves.

Could the rapid expulsion of the pressurised air from the can create a simulateously low pressure zone around the surface of the (say) 60degC petrol, which then boils / expands exiting the can, further reducing pressure in the can? Or something similar?
