Its just 2 x 5ltr plastic fuel containers as I hope its just a temporary thing. I do have a metal 2(?)gal container labelled as " BP Redline" and stamped with the cost as "3 Shillings" (15p) - but it leaks... I seem to remember that 47P2 (John) had a similar can in the trunk of his Rover (since sold).

As a matter of interest if you were to do a fire risk assessment on your arrangement do you think that putting 2 gals of highly flammable liquid next to an electric sparky thing is OK?
