This would appear to answer the question. https://www.hse.gov.uk/cdg/commonpro...20be%20applied). As a private individual - I assume in this instance you are - ADR regulations don't apply.

I was the East Riding County Council that issued the fixed penalty - the local Parish Council I don't think can do that (not in this neck of the woods anyway). Interested to read your note however, I do take in an interest in the local parish council and they're quite a dedicated bunch that get little to no support and a lot of moaning from the villagers and the county council - hence despite their efforts other than renewing the planters and painting the swing in the park every year, little gets done, which is a missed opportunity.

No, that was about another chap who was fined when he put a bag of rubbish from his car in a public litter bin.

It looks as though the Government consolidated and simplified the law in 2014. I remember during the fuel protests in 2000 it emerged that as well as the quantity of petrol that you were allowed to store in metal and/or plastic Jerry cans you could store an additional quantity in glass pint bottles under some earlier act of parliament.
Technically you only need a licence to store more than 275 litres or 60 gallons in one place. However, for between 30 and 275 litres it is necessary to give "notice" to the petroleum enforcement authority and have equipment on site to deal with fire and spillage. Whilst not explicitly stated, I expect in practice you would also require a fairly good reason to keep more than 30 litres on domestic premises once the authorities had been informed. |

This is where I got to after a lot of reading. There are three points in play : How much you can buy at a forecourt - very hard to establish but I think it is petrol - 30 litres in approved containers, diesel as much as you like. How much you can transport in a private vehicle - that is 270 litres in total (i.e. including the main fuel tank) And how much you can store at home - 30 litres unregistered. Not sure if a shipping container in the middle of a field (which is actually used formally as a chemical store for all my herbicides) is classed as home? Anyhow - I think I know enough to politely explain to a forecourt attendant what i'm doing if it happens again. Coincidently popped into the same forecourt again recently just to get some beer, there was a chap with a trailer with a triple gang ride on sitting on it filling up a white plastic container with fuel (not sure if petrol or diesel). Not sure if he got some love as well.

It's coz you were buying petrol, if you'd just picked up a few thousand battery cell you'd of probably got a kiss.
