G'day all,

We are on the road, and while filling two jerry cans of diesel at Swan Hill (Vic) I was told by the young operator that it is now illegal to carry fuel inside vehicles - can only be on back of truck, trailer or ute. His reason was due to possible fumes inside the cab. Rule evidently has applied for about 2 months, and $20,000 fine! News to me!! although I'm from SA, and rules can vary.

Is this bollocks? When I went inside to pay, there was a large sign regarding farm chemicals, will only be sold if transported in ute etc...

My jerry cans don't leak, and would be secured against a cargo barrier until back at the caravan park, then stored on outside of 'van.

If anyone knows of actual ruling / law for Vic or elsewhere in Oz, please advise. I am not after opinions guys, only law.

Many thanks,
glids
