Carrying fuel question
Discussion
Mine says
You will not be covered for any liabilities you may have for any of the following:
The ownership, operation, maintenance or use of any car principally used for:
■ ...
■ bulk transportation of liquefied petroleum, gasoline or any inflammable liquid
All my (race) petrol is in the trailer, but even so I think I am ok (from an insurance policy point of view) carrying 60l in cans and another 30 in the race car.

This is what Red Devil thinks:
So max 30 litres to stay within the law.
I've not read the references to try and make sense of it myself.

My take on it is:
- a jerrican is a storage vessel per Schedule 2.1(a)(iii).
- the car is a storage place per Schedule 2.1(b)(iv)
So whether the car is stationary or in motion makes no difference whatever. You're limited to 30 litres.

I once made a right fool of myself waiting on a ferry - security fella spotted a 5l fuel can through the back window.
Him - "Is that full?"
Me - "Yes"
Him - "I'm afraid you can't bring a container of petrol on the ferry sir, you'll have to empty it"
Me - "Well where the hell do you suggest I pour it? Down the drain? Over the car park?"
Him - "Into the fuel tank perhaps, Sir?"
Him - "Is that full?"
Me - "Yes"

More worried about you pouring fuel over their boat than the dangers of flammable vapour? Him - "Is that full?"
Me - "Yes"

I've recently stopped filling the drums I carry, frequently carrying 4 x 50/60 ltr drums. Apart from 1 attendant, all the others let me fill in a couple of goes. Most circuits are OK,though Brands we use the station up the road while Snett is either wait for noise test to finish or use the fuel station heading towards the premier inn as they don't mind!
