Hey there,
Thought I'd pass on what was funny at the time but might not be in another scenario - sunlight heating up vessels in closed vehicles & turning them into slightly pressurized vessels..!
The other weekend I opened my car's tupperware kit, got the sunscreen out, and had the bottle gently explode on me upon opening it. A small mess and a waste, but not an issue. However, I don't know what other fluids in there would do if they got in the eyes; windshield washer fluid, engine coolant, etc. For the latter I've 600ml pop bottles of each (labeled) in case I need some. So, I now securely wrap my windshield sun reflector over top of the tupperware bin to prevent the contents getting that hot..!
On a similar note, I recall hearing about one lady falling ill after consuming the contents of a water bottle left in the car over some long term. I now have a simple piece of cardboard over my 4-bottle carrier behind my seat so the sun doesn't degrade the plastic so much. Imo mine aren't in my vehicle long enough for the sun to do this, and I rotate the bottles when I restock between road trips, but that's my $.02.
