Temporary Petrol Canisters — Safe and Legal Use for Running Out of Fuel in Malaysia MyMechanic
Choose the right canister: Use only approved fuel containers;
never makeshift bottles or generic plastics.
Handle with care: Keep upright, sealed, and away from heat or
direct sun; petrol is highly flammable.
Emergencies only: Intended to reach the nearest petrol
station, not for long-term carriage.
Avoid overfilling: Leave expansion space to reduce spillage
risk.
Legal Considerations in Malaysia
Small, emergency-only canisters are generally acceptable, but
carrying large volumes or unsafe containers can create problems.
Stick to a single approved canister and ensure it’s properly
sealed to avoid hazards and scrutiny.
Avoid the risks of storing fuel—let coordinated roadside support
handle refuelling safely.
