Does anyone know what, if any, the minimum fill / fuel delivery is at the pump with the main petrol forecourts are? BP, Esso, Shell.

£5 / £10, 2L / 5L?

Generally 2 litres, but I suspect this is more about accuracy of metering than a strictly enforced policy.

Can't be any less than that, because every so often I fetch mower petrol in a 5-litre can, but only buy £3 or £4 worth.

Always used to be half a gallon which got changed to 2 L (should be l but that looks more like a 1) after metrication of the pumps.
