Vince Green Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Basically its pretty dangerous stuff to have around in quantity.

If over 30litres but less than 275 you have to write to them. Over 275 and you have to apply for a licence. https://www.environmental-protection.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Storing-Petrol-at-Home.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current demand is idiotic. If the current “crisis” lasts more than a week and becomes a real crisis your small hone storage would become insignificant anyway.

fern01 Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Most garages monitor people filling containers with the cctv to make sure they are using an approved type and turn the pump off if not correct. Then have a word. Probably missed this because they are too busy raking in the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
