I am with Ruairidh although he got the colour wrong. Fill your can in a legal container. As to filling cans The new types and most of the old type petrol pumps cut off the supply when it’s full. That is if you put the spout in far enough.

Hi John
In the main I agree with your comment but the “regulations” posted by Lowespeed are in fact “guidance”. Tesco and other stores have interpreted this guidance for their own company policy and seem to suggest that plastic cans are the only ones they will accept on their forecourt.
Filling an “allowed” fuel container then decanting that into my metal can is what I do. However I’m not sure what reaction my insurance company would have if they were called to fulfil a claim!
