Hi! Steve
Tesco at Market Rasen refuses to supply in 25litre plastic drums.
I just go to my local garage and he welcomes me with open arms
especially for cash transactions. I think you will find that the law
defines metal cans and you can only keep 2 gallons maximum on your
premises unless in a vehicle.
I would think that being their forecourt they set the rules. When I was
refused at MR I commented "You don't want business!" Whch just got a
shrug of the shoulders!

Subject: Europa-List: Mogas sales
<steven.pitt2@ntlworld.com>
Dear UK Europa owners.
I have been refused the sale of Mogas at a Tesco petrol station in West
Sussex, on the grounds of using a clearly marked 20 litre fuel canister.
When I queried this, I was shown a West Sussex County Council Trading
Standards notice setting out that 20 litre containers are not acceptable
although 10 and 5 are as long as you only buy 15 litres at a time.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
In 2 + years of flying my Europa this is the first time I have had any
problems. I have used several Tesco and Shell garages without problem
and
indeed filled up with 60 litres at Tesco Winchester only 2 weeks before.
I have contacted Trading Standards to seek dispensation and the chance
of a
discussion on the subject.
I have also contacted AOPA.
