Yours would be for diesel ;)Quote:

I don't think they even allow for an earth strap to be used ?
It's a crazy situation although I know someone that still fills their jerry's in the back of the ute and so far no one has chipped him :angel:
this is an issue i get every now and again trying to arrange unleaded in bulk, there are few companies that can supply bulk unleaded if you want a full truck load. drums need to be filled using the proper equipment (intrinsically safe??) when loading unleaded so reduces options but i have found some companies that will do it. :)
deisel is fairly easy to arrange in bulk so would not expect many issues there.
jet A1 and Avtur have the same basic handling requirements as diesel...
AVgas however....
Someone with an Irish kind of humor will be removing the wheels from the trailer, rest it on the ground and fill the tanks :DQuote:

If you can't fill a fuel cell in a trailer then how can we all fill our cars with unleaded. There isn't much difference imoo both vehicles riding on rubber tyres oh&s gone wrong if you ask me
I agree and that has always been my argument too.Quote:
