Hi Duncan
Do Sainsbury's put any alcohol in their fuel?
All the best

That usually works!
At one Sainsbury's the clerk spotted the amount of fuel on the bill and
reprimanded me for it (3no 20 litre jerry cans), claiming that if the
petroleum officer were to spot this then the outlet would loose its licence;
which apparently limited the amount to 2no cans.

It is a ridiculous rule - I just fill the containers on the far side of the
pumps, furthest from the payment kiosk.
Also, at my local petrol station there is a sign saying only 10 litre metal
containers with a screw top are acceptable, illustrated with a picture of a
standard 20 litre jerry can, which of course doesn't have a screw top! I
think the only metal fuel cans with a screw top are the 1920's 'shell
petroleum' type ones you see in museums, which is probably where the
thinking behind this absurdity belongs.

Thanks Frank,
I did some research today and found the document from the H&SE that you
referred to and I certainly got the feeling that the rules are out of date.
Not only that but the Trading Standards in Hampshire and West Susex (my
local counties) run by different rules despite the guidance given to them by
the same document, that which you have quoted from.
According to the legislation anyone selling containers larger than 10 litres
is committing an offence. Surprising how many large companies in the UK are
selling 20 litre plastic and metal fuel containers!
I will advise the forum on my feedback (if any ) from AOPA, Trading
Standards and the Health and Safety Executive.

PS I have received one suggestion (from a Tesco employee) that I should
trailer my plane to their forecourt, take it out of the trailer to fill it
up and then put it back in the trailer. Could cause an interesting traffic
jam.
