Why?

 

I've never had issues filling anything from normal fuel cans, 20L jerry cans or combi cans.

Me neither . If you stand behind the pump they cant tell were you are pumping it . Could be in your vehicle or up your own arse .

Some places will send you packing, other places don't care. Supermarket petrol stations are usually the worst, I avoid them.

Never had an issue personally. Filled many different cans of fuel all over place. When i did European freight i had a 20L jerry can in my van and never had an issue. It's bright yellow so hardly inconspicuous. Last 3 years, i was at the AA and filling cans frequently.

 

Nearest petrol station to me is Tesco. Use pay at pump and no-one will even need to look at what you're filling.

Pretty much. The other day i filled my van, chipper, 20L jerry can and combi can at the same pump without issue. 2 transactions, no problem.

 

Had a look at my spare oil nozzle yesterday. Bought the can in Feb, never even used this nozzle and the o-ring is cracked already. ☹

One of our local garages will only let you fill 2 jerry cans(must  be metal) or 5 small cans(5litre) at once,i asked why and the person in the shop didn,t know why,so i see what you mean
