Do/would you carry petrol in your camper?

Assuming of course it was in a suitable container, would you carry spare fuel for your camper inside your camper?

 

no, i leave it to a combination of watching the fuel guage planning and the AA man getting me some when i run out

 

Only if my fuel gauge wasnt working

 

I use to all the time in a plastic container in the cupbard next to the gas bottle as my fuel gauge use to not work.
I havent recently though as I've had it mended.

 

I carry a metal 2 gallon can under the bed with the tools, its far far less dangerous than my gas bottles in the wardrobe, the fuel wont just explode in an accident in a massive fire ball like films, it wont even do that in a fire really and hopfully in a fire you would be well clear of it anyway

 

Yes.
We carry a spare 10 litre plastic jerry can of fuel. Mainly due to the distances between petrol stations down here, only ever had to use it twice. :-[
As long as it's in an approved container there shouldn't be a problem.

 

I carry and empty plastic petrol container as most garages won't let you fill up a non certified can - and having accumulated 4 of the things over the years have learn't my lesson.

I don't carry fuel in it though.

 

I do, most of the time. It shouldn't be an issue at all as long as it's in a suitable container as mentioned before.

 

personaly i dont, but i beleive if you travel off our island and go continental you NEED to carry one. ITS THE LAW. it does not however need to be full. if i go continental i carry a full gallon in the cupboard.

 

I have a 5ltr plastic jerry can in the van - don't really use it but it's there for if I ever broke down and had to walk to a near by garage to fill up

 

i have a 5 litre plastic one that i carry empty just incase i ran out and had to walk (unlikely - i've never ran out in 25 plus years of driving) and i have a 20 litre metal jerrycan which i will fill up when i fill the vehicle to top up on the way home etc as i usually find petrol in wales for example is a fair bit more expensive than sainsburys near where i live and i always fill up before i go away.

 

No as that's beer space.
The van can get pretty hot so don't fancy the smell and i cant remember the last time i run out.

 

That's just another unnecessary lump to take up space in the bus when packed for camping. I just make sure my fuel guage works, and fill up at quarter mark.

 

Never carry fuel in the van, my gauge is a bit dodgy as it drops of to empty when it gets to half full.

So i fuel up when that happens.

 

I was about to say one would have been handy recently when we were running on fumes as we drove through the lions enclosure at Longleat Safari Park - then it occurred to me: who was going to get out and fill up the tank? Weirdly in my mind's eye it was Yorkshirecampers, not me.

 

when necessary I carried a 20l jerry can, and it found itself very useful on a far distance, some eastern countries you really want to avoid their fuel, some for the price, and some for the fuel itself, but for camping... no. wtf for?

 

We carry a plastic 5L fuel container with fuel in it.

Sometimes the fuel goes in Arthur

Sometimes the fuel goes towards starting a bonfire

 

No, it's taken 12 months to cure the petrol smell, i would like some time in the van without it. Even sealed cans make your van smell.
