Posted By leanne Im hoping someone can help, i am trying to find out the quantities that we are able to carry in the back of a van without needing ADR licenses for petrol and diesel? I have searched the net and spoke to various companies and have been given different answers! can anyone help?

Posted By Steve JB Leanne, I think that the threshold limit on Petrol UN1203 is 333ltrs before ADR kicks in, not sure about diesel. I would hwoever say that this is a large quantity to carry in a van. Would also be interested in the answer Steve

Posted By Keith Oakes Leanne, Steve JB is correct . The max quantity of Petrol (motor spirit) UN No 1203 that can be carried to be exempt ADR (Europe) or The carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (UK) is 333ltrs. Diesel (Gas Oil or Diesel Fuel ) UN No 1202 exemption limit is 1000ltrs. Exemption limits are determined by the transport category, Petrol is transport category 2 and Diesel transport category 3. When more than one transport category are carried together there is a calculation detailed as follows - The sum of Quantity of transport category 1 multiplied by 50; Quantity of transport category 2 multiplied by 3; Quantity of transport category 3; Shall not exceed 1000ltrs Also, where mixed gas loads are carried the most hazardous product carried takes precedence i.e. for a toxic gas and flammable gas, the toxic gas takes precedence. If you require any further information, contact me. Regards Keith
