It is illegal in Spain (and Italy) to carry a spare can of fuel...

Funnily enough it is also an offense in Spain to run out of fuel...

I spend at least six months a year in Spain and with the plethora of petrol stations per mile, you run out, you deserve a night in the cells....

Fleeing the UK perhaps?
Don't bother wasting time and money there when you have read up on how they treat animals!

In Spain it is permisable to cary a MAXIMUM of 5 ltrs in an approved container. In eastern Algarve drivers frequently cross into Spain to fill their tanks with cheaper fuel and this issue frequently comes up
