I sure wouldn't have any form of gas very close to an exhaust, but without a picture it's hard to judge.
Cheap plastic containers are a bad idea IMHO, they expand and often leak. The Scribner fuel cans are heavier, but I still wouldn't want one near an exhaust for long periods.
I really agree with others, you need a metal Jerry can. The lids clamp tighter, they are not as likely to expand and leak as well.
