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?

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.
