Diesel storage

<< < (2/4) > >>

NeilWilson:
Your local Trading Standards office should be able to tell you.  I checked with mine in 2004 about storing a few jerry cans of diesel in the shed - they said there was no legislation that a private person needs to comply with for storing diesel, other than if it was hundreds of litres then you might need to contact the Envirnonment Agency - I presume regarding possible sources of ground water contamination.  Cheers.

so how safe is it store a 20l jerry can?  If its not in the back of the car, it has to live in my parent's she, no where to store it where I live....

diseasal is safe as houses, in a metal gerry can you cant go far wrong, its not liable to burst into flames or anything, we use gallons of the stuff at work and IMHO the worst thing it will do is make things smell bad if you spill it. If you buy it from a garage the best bet is to buy it in the winter if your planning on storing it for a while as theres more anti waxing agent put in it in the winter, so if you buy some now and store it use it before the weather gets cold

it is better to have and NOT need than NEED and not have

--- Quote from: "defuzz" ---M Thomas, you're probably right.  My main reason is, as fuel prices rise, eventually we're going to find ourselves in the midst of another fuel protest.  If that happens again it would be comforting to know I've got a little stash, which at the very least would get me to work and back for a week or two.

To be honest not being able to get to work due to no fault of my own would be a bonus!  :lol:
