Jerry Cans

[DL.]

I see from this news article that it's unlawful to store 20 litres of petrol in a standard 20 litre metal jerry can!

I've found the scepter cans to be pretty good.

Once again, the BBC are wrong. You can hold up to 30 litres and it can be in one vessel.

 

"SCHEDULE 2

 

Petrol Storage in Domestic or Other Relevant Premises Requirements for keeping up to 30 litres of petrol in suitable portable containers or in a single demountable fuel tank.

 

1. A person keeps petrol in accordance with this paragraph if—

 

(a)no more than a total of 30 litres in suitable portable containers or in a single demountable fuel tank is kept, of which—

 

(i)no more than 30 litres is kept in one or more suitable portable containers;

 

(ii)no more than 30 litres is kept in one demountable fuel tank;

 

or (iii)no more than 30 litres is kept in no more than two suitable portable containers in any motor vehicle, motor boat, hovercraft or aircraft; ."

In some service stations in Spain they sell heavy duty plastic bags ....as emergency fuel cans!

I see the BBC article was published on "29 Mar 2012"...

I have a feeling the regulations have changed since then..
