Went to Tesco's today and I put £15 into a large petrol container. When I got to the checkout I was told that this Gerry can I used (thick plastic one) shouldn't have been used and that if they'd realised I was using it they wouldn't have let me put any in.
Apparantly it should only be used for Diesel and Petrol should only go in the small Green or Red ones.
Why?
I would have asked her to explain but she was so soft spoken I couldn't really hear what she was saying.
Is there a particular reason for this? At first I thought she was concerned that the can may have had Diesel in it before but I explained that it had only had Petrol in it. Nope, it ain't that.
Driving home I was worried it had something to do with combustion and was actually bricking my pants. lol. I turned all heating off to keep the temperature down and drove really slow to avoid holes and slurping in the can. lol. 15 miles like that wasn't fun.
Anyone explain this to me?
