Unless something has changed, I don't think paraffin is covered. The regs used to say, a maximum of two, 2 gallon containers. Once upon a time they had to be metal. In the new money, 2 gall was loosely converted to the present max of 10 litres. When plastic was made acceptable, the max for plastic containers was set at 5 litres. The regs used to say that containers had to be marked "Petroleum spirit - Highly inflammable."meic wrote: ... paraffin.
The Law
Storage of fuel at home or the workplace (unless specifically licensed) is restricted by law to either metal containers with a maximum capacity of 10 litres or approved plastic containers of a maximum 5 litres capacity. These containers should be designed for the purpose and must be fitted with a screw cap or closure to prevent leakage of liquid or vapour.
Petrol and diesel fuel should be stored in no more than two 10 litre metal containers or two 5 litre plastic containers. They should be clearly labeled as to their contents
