Default Pre war petrol

Petrol was also sold in NZ in wooden crates containing two 4 gal cans (aka flimsies to some). Many had soldered openings requiring the user to puncture the can to open it. I have seen a pourer which included a spike. (will get a photo).

These were sold at general stores in the country areas. Later on the petrol companies argued that these stores shouldn't sell petrol from bowsers as they also sold food. Decades later we buy food at petrol stations - go figure!
