just got back from using this months allowance, given that article and the other comments I went in the s1 with the four cans along the middle bulkhead secured with whatever those stretchy things with hooks on the end are called.
I figured since I have to fill the car up inside, filling the cans as well wouldn't draw any attention have to say I was crapping it on the way back in case I got pulled for something

Actually the date of the BBC page makes it a few years old and now out of date. The current HSE guidance states:
From this document...
I take from this that I can still use 20L steel jerry cans, so you lot should just give me all yours

must admit I was puzzled why one couldn't use the 20l steel cans given various militaries have been using them since the thirties.
the latest article doesn't mention any quantities that you can store at home or transport so I assume these are as per the earlier bbc article.

afaik, no. petrol is way more flammable than diesel. you can fill up whatever suitable container you like with diesel.
hence heating fuel can be stored in bigass plastic containers.

"The AA also say they are "desperately worried" about people storing petrol and diesel which it describes as "incredibly, incredibly dangerous".
The AA recommends people "shouldn't even contemplate storing it at all".
However, it is not illegal to store fuel at home as long as you stick to the set limits."
just wondering how home brew bio kits go with planning laws...
more than 20 litres there, more than 10 litres in plastic normally,
plus heating elements....oh dear....lol
back in the day, banger racers used the old steel jerry cans as part of "cooling" systems with a steel pipe welded in for incoming and outgoing water, plus a "steam pipe" - small metal tube with a length of hosepipe or simular aimed at the ground.
so many were used around the 1970 to 1990`s era....maybe some still use them..
never held enough water for me....
made or had made purpose built water tanks....12 gallons was the norm for me...
tea anyone ....lol

plastic cans arrived, should be fine for carting diesel in, comparing them to the metal ones I have I do think metal is worth the extra couple of quid
PETROL only. diesel is something like 200lt containers iirc for home storage

looks superior quality to the type I got but then it ought to be for 3 times the price
I have a water can that looks very similar black though and with water on it obviously.
I like the way the scepter one has the inflammable warnings on it, the cheaper cans don't, the ones I bought have a flimsy sticker that I doubt will stay on more than a day or two
