Francis Maude is clearly an idiot, but he has got me thinking...
Apparently you're not meant to store petrol in a metal container larger than 10 litres (or 5 litres for plastic), so how come the 20 litre metal fuel storage container which is bolted to my motorbike is fine, as are the 50+ litre plastic containers in many cars? How is a jerry can any more dangerous?
It also appears you're not allowed to store petrol in your house, but how about a car/bike in an integral garage? Seems to be a lit of inconsistency.

In a similar vein, but different, I always wonder why you can't take an LPG car on the tunnel?
Why is a D.O.T approved LPG tank, designed to be in a car and used on the road any more dangerous than a petrol tank?
You aren't even allowed to take them on empty? But IIRC you can take an LPG cylinder on with a motorhome or caravan?
Some rules (including your petrol storage one) don't seem to add up.
