It is boom time for sales of plastic petrol cans in the UK, after a government minister mistakenly advised people to stockpile petrol at home. The UK press is full of articles about panic buying of fuel, dry petrol stations and domestic accidents caused by petrol storage in homes.
One article in Friday's FT reported "a 225% jump in sales of fuel cans at Halfords, including a 500% rise in 20 litre jerry cans, which are too large to store domestic petrol legally."
