jobs worth at petrol station !

[difflock]

I can kinda sympathise with the filling station staff.

From the perspective of knowing a local entrepenure used to send staff to Muff in Donegal to buy the cheaper petrol for his ski boats.

Umpteen nominal 20 litre plastic jars in the boot and rear seat of a car.

In the summer heat.

Some of his drivers also smoked.

IF? they had been involved in a collision on the way back it would have been an inferno.

my local sainsbury's has a poster beside the pumps about red green and max volumes, so I guess he's just doing what he's told and following "the regulations"

Your a better man than me! I wouldn't go to Haverhill. Never mind get out of the truck to fill up.

look at it from a different angle how many customers do we have to deal with in a day then look at how many they have to deal with.

Had the same thing at a shell garage, tried to fill up two combi cans, girl comes out says you can't fill that up..... I'm not proud to say I was less than polite when informing her of there purpose, but was allowed to fill up.

Had this in Liverpool once with jerry cans. Jerry cans FFS. I had to explain that if its good enough for every army in the world as a means of carrying fuel then its good enough for a tree surgeon to carry fuel too.

Muppets make me want to puke :lol:

I have several times had to point out to my local supermarket forecourt staff that the petroleum spirit regs don't apply to diesel, since it is legally oil and not petrol! They still don't get it!

 

You can legally carry up to 1000 litres of diesel in any kind of can in the back of your truck. More than 1000 litres you need a transport licence.

 

It depresses me that people whose livelihood and profession is selling fuel have no clue whatsoever about the law as it relates to selling fuel!
