Am i going to havce an issue with getting petrol,or would just get a big jerry can

Just been talking to someone who reckons me keeping my boat in the water is a bad idea incase theres a storm and it gets flooded out. Its got a decent cover on it but the drain plug would be below water level. Is it likely to hapen at say sunderland?

hi guys,pleased to see this thread as the price of petrols killing me! i have a mercury 120hp outboard and takes £80's worth of unleaded and i can easily run off a full tank in a day! Is there anywhere better i can fill up rather than the local garage?

cheers mate i was wondering how the heck they'd work, i was just going to stick some hooks through them and use a weight

spot on thanks just clicked on the link,its just what i needed
