Your first link says the exact opposite of your claim. It says it's legal to store above 30L and below 275L of petrol if you inform the local Petroleum Enforcement Authority.
Even above 275L, it says you need a license - it doesn't say it's illegal.
Fuel does go off, but if you have reason to store it, you probably have a use for it, so as long as you cycle the fuel, you can store an emergency supply indefinitely.

Its commonly said 'it illegal to possess plutonium', but obviously someone does operate nuclear powerplants, and thise are people with the right licence. Same applies to drugs, explosices, etc. The question is - are requirements of the lisence realistic for you to meet as an average homeowner?
- overscore 6y agoYou can still store up to 275L without a license, which is surely enough for the use case we're discussing. I can't help but think you're nitpicking. However, I picked a random Council to see, and it looks extremely doable for a homeowner with the space to do so to get a license to store up to 2,500L. It's not even particularly expensive (£44 pa) http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/community-and-safety/suffolk-trading-standards/trading-standards-certificates-or-licences/apply-for-a-petroleum-licence/ http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/community-and-safety/suffolk-tradi...
