Gaseous,
There are strict regs in UK for the transportation and storage of Petrol based liquid. I'm not sure about the allowed quantities but I know they are very small unless you have a licence. I think they might be as little as 20 litres for storage at a residential property in other than a vehicle fuel tank. Also, for road transportation of much more than a couple of spare cans I have been told you need a Hazchem clearance or suchlike.
I will research this and see if I can find out any more, as a keen car & bike person (4 + 1 at last count) it may affect me too .
My local Tesco garage lady recently went ape$hit at me when she saw me innocently filling my 25 litre jerry can at the pump.
Just found some info. You are allowed 2 x 5 litre plastic containers or 2 x 10 litre metal containers. Above those amounts you need to inform your local Petrol Licensing Authority and above 60 gallons you need a licence.
Powerful stuff, petrol when you think about it. One gallon blasts my bike 50 miles or my BMW 30 miles!
