i don't see the point in life insurance. its like "congratulations your dead. have some money" "no thanks I'm dead, i don't need money" "well heres some money for your family, money makes things better!" :Djust my silly idea of a joke mate! ;D

in all seriousness f*ck off the jerry can. you got a tank with the cap on the bonnet of the buggy? you got a stick? use the stick to check how much fuel is in there before each journey. much safer! i doubt ill actually carry it in the buggy, there just isnt enough room. ill probably just fill it up and leave it in my garage as a backup. i was just checking the legality of filling it up and bringing it home. dave: i figured it was a joke. in all seriousness i do need life insurance with this thing. mark my words: this thing WILL kill me

Its worth remembering that petrol goes off quite quickly these days so if you stick a can in your garage you should probably use it and then re-fill it every 6 weeks or so. Otherwise you might find it no good when you actually need it 6 months down the line....
Also, surely you only need a gallon or so, if that, to make it to a petrol station? Don't think I'd want to store more than necessary.

Storage of fuel permitted at home/in garage/garden shed/ greenhouse?/ dog kenel etc. is around 2.5 Gallons or roughly 10 litres. Hench why the green and red petrol cans that Halfords/motorfactors sell are the 2.5 Gal or now 10litre size. Yes I know some motorfactors sell 5Gal (and now 20 litre) ex 'British Army' Jerry cans or ex US ARMY 'American' Jerry cans which will be 4.5 Gal or what is classed as 5 US Gal. but there you go...it's not an offence to buy or have one (we have them mounted by the spare wheel on the rear of some of the military vehicles) but would be to fill to the brim ;D! As we all know they are called 'Jerry' cans due to the Germans using them in World War 2 and the rest of the world copied, they are all date marked as well regardless of country. German and British ones have a 'X' (Cross) with a square in the middle pattern' on either body side, whereas US Army ones have a straight forward 'X' patern on the body. Incidently if anyone has a 1940's dated Jerry Can with German Army 'Afrika Corps' palm tree emblem stamped into the metal by the date mark ...PM Me ...I'll BUY IT! ;D
