jobs worth at petrol station !

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!

 

Cool. Top info!

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:

 

They won't let you fill big Jerry cans round here as you are not allowed to store more than 30 litres in various combinations of cans. A Tory MP recently fell foul of this telling people to keep some in hand when there was fear of a shortage.

Just explain to them a jerry can is not 30 litres

I've never had a problem. Always fill up 2 jerry cans 1 combi can and me chipper and no one said anything yet.
