When you coil an extension cord in a container you are making a coil inductor. I don't know if this would be a problem with the 50 amp cord due to its thicker insulation and few coils, but I do know that a 15 amp cord coiled in a 5 gallon bucket with about half of it in the bucket will melt the bucket. After doing this in my early days of aircraft maintenance, I have always been cautious about having a coiled cord.
