No, the bullet is made from lead, it will not cause a spark, if you have a steel bullet, the chances are good , it is only the vapours that burn, and ignition temp is around 400 degrees, I have thrown lit cigaretts in a small can of gas b4 and nothing has happen.Even when a car catches fire the chances are low that it will explode, (stay away for good safety sake), the only time gas /fumes explode is when there is a high conceration of vapours in that area.and thereis a source if ijnition, spark,flame ect.......

No, it won't catch on fire from the bullet.
The bullet is hot but the petrol is cold, and there's a lot more petrol. It will cool the bullet as it passes through the petrol. Since you are shooting a can, the gasoline will not have access to oxygen while the bullet is still hot and will not be vaporized, so it could not burn.
It may spill and ignite for some other reason later.

in the movies they use small explosives to set off the barrels.
Truthfully, even if you use tracers or incendiary rounds likely the most you'd get is a stream of flame.

I think you meant to say: "Can petrol ignite from only gunfire?"
