been out on the bike tonight and the q's at the pumps are mad (filled the mig last night hehe)

Having filled metal jerry cans for track days and the like, from personal experience it's never wise to fully fill the pop off lid metal "army" style cans.

The fuel expands, and when opening fuel bursts out all over the place if the level is near the spout.

The fuel contracts, leading to suction in the can making it a real barstuard to pop the lid off, leading to possible accidents and spillage.

All due to temp variations and unviable to have breathers on the can itself. They are a bit of a nuisance tbh.

see said minister is now "withdrawing" previous "advice"

What a complete & utter moron for stating that 

I would also add rather idiot to that description

I can see where this is going

Thanks to this Muppet advice from the Government, a lot of people are going to fill their fuel tanks up to the max, and then wonder why their fuel tanks have been damaged by criminals steeling their fuel.

This will then lead to more insurance claims, which leads to insurance premiums going up (yet again!) because of more payouts, which will lead to insurance companies complaining claims have gone up which means more administration needed to cope, which leads to putting up of the premiums to help defend the payments being paid, which will lead to the government making a statement that national cost are being effected, which leads to even more taxes to cover all that has happened in between them giving the advise in the first place...

It's going to end in tears and WE'RE GOING TO GET SCREWED... again... by the same people whom gave the advise in the first place
