G'day all,
I was advised that as far as insurance companies are concerned that by carrying full jerry cans in the vehicle was a big no no.I am sure we have all done it from time to time so be careful.I guess this means it is illegal to do so.Does anybody know the ruling on this?

From the above it is obvious there is a danger in loading it in the vehicle and for any fumes escaping too. The previous post 9027indicated there was the Dangerous Goods Act to protect the consumer or the user. It looks above that some don't learn from the post 9027 though.
In any of the vehicles we drive there is the potential for a spark and the volatility of petrol is a danger in an enclosed space. I would have thought every bit as explosive as a gas cylinder contents. I though we were all aware of the dangers of inhaling the fumes too!
Glad the fellows above remember 9027Regards

LIFE is dangerous. Getting up out of bed in the morning is dangerous...you might slip on the carpet and bugger your cranium.
Live dangerously don't be a sissy or succumb to paranoia.!
Enjoy your day :-)

Willem, thanks for the advice;-)
I think if I contribute to my demise I may sort out the way I do it first. I have a few other things I actually enjoy in my life enough to prolong it if I can.
I prefer not to be negligent or seen that way in the rest of my life either... Yes, I have done some silly things and possibly continue to do them too if I enjoy it. LOL
Have seen the WHHOOOOFFFF with a petrol fire before, I reckon it may be heard too late for some, just like the malfitted gas tanks that reach the press.Regards
