    Petrol aint coming down. Your only allowed to put in 5L to allow for expansion of gases etc. You were lucky it wasnt a hot day or you could be BBQ material.

    Yeah 5 litres is recommended, but I've often got near the 6 litres into one whilst brimming it, however with Diesel so it is safe out.
