I saw a gif of a lady filling up plastic bags, and I was shocked that it was allowed.
I'm pretty sure other countries have rules about what containers you can/can't fill up from a petrol station. Is this not a thing in America?
I feel like "You can only put petrol in your car, or in a single jerry can" as a rule, even temporarily, would solve the panic buying problem, and also make the whole place safer.
- sgerenser 5y agoThere are rules about what you can fill up. The gif you saw was probably fake.

Doesn’t mean the minimum wage worker at the gas station is inclined to enforce the law, though.
- swiley 5y agoYou're definitely not allowed to do that, there are huge signs at every gas station saying it's against the law. People are getting weird though: my gf told e I should buy some gas cans and store them on my apartment balcony/car trunk. It was surprisingly difficult to explain how dangerous storing gas is and why the requirements for it are so crazy.
