Apart from risk assessments/ insurance concerns & similar what restrictions / guides etc are there where hand operated petrol driven equipment is stored inside a building and each piece of equipment has its own built-in self contained petrol tank and fuel is in those tanks
No petrol is present other than that held in each piece of kit
As per a car show room vhere vehicles are inside a building and each one of them has some fuel in its tank

Posted By Heather Collins Bob Assuming this is not a domestic premises then the old requirements under various Regs made under the Petroleum (consolidation) Act no longer apply and you need one of the (very detailed) DSEAR Codes of Practice. If it is a domestic premises then the old requirements still apply. See here http://www.hse.gov.uk/fi...dexplosion/petroleum.htm for further info in either case

TA!
However after extensive research talks with EHO & Fire service petroleum officers this type of storage area is still 'grey', everybody talks about strgage in cans etc as against the bespoke tank on-in a tool/vehicle, even the old undergroung car parks regs/guides were vague re storage of petrol in a vehicles petroltank and even DSEAR does not specificially cover it although the process is very good and I am using it - thanks for reminding me of DSEAR
The same situation is nodoubt arrising re LPG in a vehicles storage tank
