I honestly can't see how a 20l can of petrol is any more dangerous than a 50l tank of petrol...just looks a little more suspect, thats all  |
Coz in a car it is in the tank, instead of a plastic container
|
The container I have is a proper metal effort...none of this plastic crap  and as for filling up over there; that looks like what i'll end up doing, just wanted to avoid the hassle of looking for one at 2am in the morning and then trying to communicate with the grumpy (i assume, working at 2am an all) french man at the till  |

Yes when I think of it you will need a chip and pin card.
I have a UK card that has this now.
But the magnetic strip cards will not work.
The grumpy guys were best. Now they are all out of work, replaced by even more grumpy fuel vending machine repair persons who you (hopefully) never get to meet. |
