I aways thought the nozzles were made of alloy to, I had brass or alloy couplings when i had to deliver flammables & an earth cable.

I thought the rule was its allowed to be plastic if less than 5l, but larger must be metal 

In all cases, it must be designed and approved for the task.

very strange!!

got 3 jerry cans all metal, all used to buy 20 litres for the genny, never had an issue at any station?
AND
especially when you fill them up in spain just before traversing rip off france, they are a must!!!

I can confirm that all Paddy Hopkirk petrol cans have alloy necks - I worked at the factory in Eaton Bray when I was a lot younger than I am now

Must be just that filling station Varche, I regularly use my metal can for 10 litres in any of the 5 stations we use, never once been approached like that, mind you I'm normally unshaved, scruffy and wearing working clothes, a proper unsavoury looking character!!!LOL   Graham, no comments from you either!!!

I needed yet more unleaded for my chainsaw. Went to a different petrol station and out came the attendant.

Nice petrol can but it is made of metal. Can't (but will this once) let you put petrol in it!! next time you need a plastic can. A spark between filler nozzle and can could ignite fuel. Seemed reasonable enough.

I guess the law was changed at some time. I have had this green gallon Paddy Hopkirk can since 1972 I think. I remember buying it from Epic Accessories in Leicester so I have had my monies worth. I guess now it will have to go to a museum.  I wonder if a plastic one will last the same length of time?

Obviously pump attendant is having a week off from the Shell station at Brackley, as he is brain dead from the neck up.  This gives the Government regulations which explains you can have a maximum of 2 metal and 2 plastic fuel storage containers with caps off next to your oven  on your premises, but they must be outside your home.

I store my petrol in a Wheelie Bin in the basement. Then wonder why the bin's melted & there's petrol everywhere Doh

But when did our government regulations apply to Spain?

I don't think they were ever a colony (despite the numbers of ex-pats hiding from the law living down there ))..
