These are ubiquitous in Benin..."dzafi". ON every roadside you find enterprising individuals selling "discounted" gasoline, motor oil and the like. Most people use these more than a typical gas station, especially for their scooters/motorbikes (which outnumber the cars).
Unfortunately, the quality of this fuel is not high-grade and the pollution, in Cotonou especially, is terrible.
A dzafi is actually the unit of measure (the large bulbous jar).
