"Also as far as I know there isn't a legal problem carrying 25l fuel in a vehicle"

"CDG does not affect the Petroleum Spirit (Motor Vehicles etc) Regulations 1929 or the Petroleum Spirit (Plastic Containers) Regulations 1982 which remain in force. However, it must be remembered that these Regulations allow 2 x 10 litre capacity metal vessels or 2 x 5 litre plastic containers to be carried on a vehicle specifically as a supplementary fuel for that or some other combustion engine."

"Petrol may only be dispensed into a container of approved material and design as required by the Petroleum Spirit Regulations 1982."

"It is illegal to sell petrol in non-approved containers"

Metal containers

"Must have a vapour proof, securely fitting cap and must not exceed 23 litres capacity"

It seems to me that atol would be breaking the law if they supplied petrol to customers in 25l cans, when the maximum allowed is 23l (5 gallons) per metal container. Also it may not be legal for the customer to store such a container in a vehicle.

Does atol have a licence to dispense feul at kart tracks?
