Carrying fuel question

[Mr10secs]

Is there a law on how much fuel can legally be carried in proper containers in a motor vehicle? Also any limit on a vehicle carrying fuel in purpose built containers on a ferry? Thanks guys.

Dont know if it makes any difference with E85?

No idea, but E85 (bioenthanol) is pretty much unobtainable in the UK since Morrisons stopped selling it several years ago. Biodiesel is a different fuel. The legislation only mentions petrol.

I'm guessing you mean race fuel - http://www.aaoil.co.uk/products/racing-fuels/chemi...
As it still has a petrol content and is inflammable I would imagine it still comes within the scope of the Regulations.

Thanks dude, no I do mean E85 in particular!

Thanks guys, im more wondering on the consequences of getting pulled with multiple full jerry cans in a vehicle. Or say a 50 gallon drum secured in the back of a van.
