Any one posted a fuel tank before. Might of sold one but need to know what courier will deliver it? Can see certain ones being funny with it being a fuel tank. Thanks

They usually ask what it is. Things is don't wanna risk anything with it. Would rather tell them what it is. Surely someone on here has used a courier that will transport it.

I've had one sent to me. It was placed in a plastic box and wrapped up as usual. If I was sending I would just wrap it up and say fuck all.

I had one delivered. Make sure it's dry and the sender is secure. But don't say it's a fuel tank!!

I tried, but they wouldn't take it as they said it smelled of fuel. Pain as I had to refund the buyer

I posted this gentleman one and put it down as 'car parts', but it had had no fuel in for a good while so bone dry and no fire risk.

Try Hermes/MyHermes.

My ParcelForce driver turned up furious a few weeks back as someone had sent a tank to a place nearby and it made his van stink. He still delivered it though.

True story.
