Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Are we all prepared for the fuel tanker Driver's to go on strike ? Another excuse for some garages to put up the price of petrol and diesel. How many of us could do without our cars?

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

I wonder if certain garages will be restricting who they sell to this time?

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

ah yes i remember the day i walked pastteh margram garage in accy town center and saw the NO WHITES sign at its entrance.

Its changed hands since though and i think its now a Total petrol station and im sure its race policy will have improved :)

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Yeah, I'm prepared. I've taken Francis Maude's advice and filled up a billy can. And I don't even have a car.

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Can I buy it off you?

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

The advice that is illegal and likely to lead to panic buying? Highly responsible!

What else is the government advising us to do? Keep a gun handy in case of intruders?

:rolleyes:

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Who knows what this government is capable of?

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Maybe its time to put the 50 litres I have in jerry cans in the cars tank and then refill them. Its been in there for to long now anyway.

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Has it not evaporated?

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

Does petrol in jerry cans go off over time? Turns to a gooey mess, perhaps?

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

i would fully support any government that allowed me to keep a gun in my home incase of intruders so teh next time i find myself with a strange rin my living room i can shoot him instead of throwing the xbox at the barsteward.

was an xbox1 as well so i bet the swines still limping lol

Take a while to evaporate from a closed container!

I doubt it. In a jerry can there should be no problem:

Good quality gasoline should be stable almost indefinitely if stored properly. Such storage should be in an airtight container, to prevent oxidation or water vapors mixing, and at a stable cool temperature, to reduce the chance of the container leaking. When gasoline is not stored correctly, gums and solids may accumulate resulting in "stale fuel". The presence of these degradation products in fuel tank, lines, and carburetor or fuel injection components, make it harder to start the engine. Upon the resumption of regular vehicle usage, though, the buildups should eventually be cleaned up by the flow of fresh petrol.

Gasoline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Tanker Driver' Strike
 

The Fire Brigade Union secretary "stressed it was against the law to store more than 10 litres of petrol in two -litre plastic containers in the home — a full-sized jerry can holds 22 litres." according to the Evening Standard. But a jerrycan is not a plastic container and expressly designed for holding and pouring fuel so not illegal.
