I always thought that hoarding petrol was illegal - if not, it’s still extremely dangerous. |  | | |

As far as I am aware, yes it is allowed. I know of no limit that the petrol station puts on purchase (although they may do). They are proper containers for storage too. Who knows? He might be some really important key worker who has to travel long distances by car? However, if he isn't, is it sensible? No.
Petrol degrades with longer term storage and will not work so well and damage the engine. You can pay a premium for higher quality ones that take much longer to degrade - Aspen springs to mind.
There are rules about how to store petrol but none that say you can't. His car will stink of it transporting that, though. The fumes are mildly toxic. |  |

"It was such a relief to get all seven cans and the tank filled and get away without being stopped. I was so stressed with that busybody with the camera in the car behind watching me. Now a nice relaxing fag as I drive home past all the mugs in the queue..." |  |

Posted this before - these guys are amateurs.
In Lagos during the petrol shortages area boys would fill jerry cans, then split them into 2 (adding water) before walking up and down the lines of frustrated motorists selling them for twice the price at the pumps.
That's how you exploit petrol shortages. And the danfo (bus) drivers upped their fares too for the duration of the shortages.
Proper unadulterated capitalism, in all it's glory. |  |

Tesco did that not all that long ago (watering down the fuel to make it go further, further EDIT for clarity - clearly accidentally in Tesco's case). Overdid it and the cars wouldn't run. Oops.
EDIT: Just to provide evidence. his is much more recent than the incident I recalled which was also more local so clearly not a one-off either! https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/tesco-petrol-diesel-car-broken-1688 [Post edited 25 Sep 2021 16:25]

I always thought it was limited to one can in case of emergency. Fooking dangerous that's for sure.
I have a can full in a shed by I've had it that long I can't remember if it's petrol or Diesel. |  |

Or you could look at whether you put it in a petrol can (green) or a diesel one (red). Of course, it matters little as it will have degraded and is best disposed of through hazardous waste. | |

How are you supposed to dispose of years old paint? Got a load of 1/4 full pots in my garage and I know they are not welcome at the local tip. | |

I think it used to be red for leaded petrol
Green for unleaded petrol
And black for diesel
Having said that, I've not seen black cans around for ages |  | | |

Fair enough. Not something I am overly familiar with.
In reply to Lowhouse too - very sensible from them. | |

Looks like the limit is 30 litres. Those six cans in the picture take it to the limit.
Not that I would be comfortable about storing all of that at home. | | | |

If you have a secure, ventilated outhouse it would not be a major issue.
Storing it in the car or house would not be wise. | |

Three easy ways:
1. Your council will collect, for a fee...
2. Specialist waste firms such as Sackers will take it, for a fee
3. Pop a couple of cans a fortnight in your regular waste, suitably buried with other stuff. *
* this is illegal, I think. | | | |
