How about it Mr Ineos for the Grenadier?

You dont really need it as the petrol pump hand pieces, have an automatic stop when the nozzle is covered by liquid.

Not in my shed, they don't.

Same as mine, thus the idea.....

I dont think that having an electric wire/connection near a fuelling point would pass the safety check.

Why don't you install a light in the proper place in the shed so as you can see what you are doing.

I usually hold a flash light but as it would, the battery died! Owing to the space limitations if I installed a wall light I'd be in my own shadow. It is not a big deal but just an idea that came to me.

Battery not included, nor needed.

You could always drill a hole in the panel above, fit a flush mount LED in there and a waterproof push button switch.

If you so desired.
