Wondering why he didn't throw the flaming cans out of the vehicle?

I used to spill a bit of gas every time I filled equipment in the garage. I'd light the spill on fire to dispose of it. One time it was a bit more of a spill than normal, and when it flamed up I took a step backwards kicking the fuel can over and igniting it. Flames streamed across the garage floor as the gas spilled out. I grabbed the flaming can and chucked it out of the garage into the lawn. Then I grabbed a blanket and smothered the fires in the garage.
That's one hell of a shot of adrenaline! I mean, I assume it would be if I'd ever done anything similar...

Considering this genius was trying to stockpile less than 1 extra tank worth of gas while spending an extra $100 in gas cans to hold it... I highly doubt anything intelligent was at play here.
