Re: filling tyres with nitrogen
Costco (where my ahes are to be scattered) do this as standard.

They said, as Mr Scanner confirmed, that 20L in a metal can (any colour) is fine. But that was not a written statement. Though I believe in Scotland verbal statements may be contractual ...

Twenty litre jerry can

Are these ok in most garages? I have a couple of diesels so it would be handy, but I ain't buying one if it causes hassle at the forecourt.

Any tips gratefully received.
