FAQs

Can I store this container inside my house?

How many plastic containers can I store in my garage?

According to the Petroleum Spirit (Plastic Containers) Regulations 1982, you are limited to a maximum of two approved plastic containers.

What is the maximum capacity for this container?

This container is designed to meet the legal capacity limits for plastic fuel storage, which is a maximum of five litres.

Troubleshooting

Spout is leaking at the connection point

Ensure the washer is seated correctly and the spout is screwed onto the threads evenly without cross-threading.

Difficulty pouring without spilling

Hold the container at a steady angle and ensure the air vent (if applicable) or the space around the spout allows for smooth liquid flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated spout storage saves space and prevents misplacement
  • Moulded graduations provide accurate filling levels
  • Flexible design makes pouring into tight filler necks easier
  • Clear colour-coding for fuel safety identification

Cons

  • Strict regulatory capacity limits apply to plastic containers in domestic settings
  • Not suitable for indoor storage under any circumstances
  • Maximum 5-litre capacity per plastic container limit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the container, ensure the pouring spout is removed from its storage position on the top of the can and screwed firmly onto the main aperture. After use, rinse the spout if necessary and store it back on the mount. Compatibility is primarily with petrol-powered machinery requiring standard fuel pouring. Care instructions include keeping the unit out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent premature plastic degradation. Always check the container for hairline cracks or seal degradation before every use. Never store petrol inside your home; strictly adhere to the 1929 and 1982 Petroleum Spirit regulations, limiting storage to two suitable metal containers (max 10 litres each) and two approved plastic containers (max 5 litres each) in a garage or detached shed.
