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?

ah yes i remember the day i walked pastteh margram garage in accy town center and saw the NO WHITES sign at its entrance.

Its changed hands since though and i think its now a Total petrol station and im sure its race policy will have improved :)
 
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?

:rolleyes:
 
Maybe its time to put the 50 litres I have in jerry cans in the cars tank and then refill them. Its been in there for to long now anyway.

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

Has it not evaporated?
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.
 
went shopping at Asda, hyndburn road,this afternoon and the petrol station was closed off with cones. Just wondered if panic buying exhausted supplies, dont know for sure as there was nothing posted to say why
 
probbaly just having the pumps refilled davemac they have to cone off the station when its been done because of health and safety.

they sometimes shut rising bridge when refilling is happening

does anyone know where teh fuel line is on a mondeo estate coz if i run out i can sneak some outa my womans car shes a heavy sleeper :D

Ya can you imagine what would have happened if the sign had read no coloureds allowed:rolleyes:
 
And to think, people laughed when I bought that solar powered car. I knew, just knew, I would use it one day. Who's laughing now?
 
Apparently Asda had sold out, Spar had people queuing to get on the forecourt all day and have had an extra tanker delivered today to cope with demand. Mr Cameron is not making many friends is he?? :rolleyes:
 
Prostitutes will be putting up their prices.

As more people hire them, to go out syphoning.
