Think you would need a VERY steady hand at the filling station!

that is very scary and has probably been like it for a long while!
Surely anybody owning that would at least cover the battery and fuel pump. And I think it should have a spill catch round the filler to even be road legal.

How do you get an MOT on that????
I hope the photographer had a telephoto lens to take that shot.

Its not an mot issue as long as the various bits are secured.

If they had put the battery and pump to one side (opposite the filler) it would be safer and go someway to offset the weight of the driver.
And the space found could be filled with sandbags to help traction and dampen any explosion.

At least we'll see it coming.
Note to self - luminous green Ford Pop at a petrol station = head for the hills!
