Yes, providing the containers are covered by the LQ ('limited quantity') regulations.
LQ refers to small receptacles (typically of the sort that go into the retail distribution chain) which are packed in boxes or on shrink-wrapped trays.
The principle behind LQ is that an acceptable level of safety is assured providing the receptacles are in a box or shrink-wrapped tray. Individual receptacles do not come into the LQ category. Regulation 7(4) (as amended in 2005) of The Carriage of Dangerous Goods Act allows retail distribution of LQ packages that have been "broken down", subject to certain conditions.
So, as an example, a flammable material such as lighter fluid (assume classified as UN 1993 Packing group I). This is LQ3. Typical 100 ml cans may be packed 10 to a box (column 3 limit being 1 litre). Subject to the box being marked as above, ADR does NOT apply, regardless of quantity. In this case the shrink wrapped tray option is not allowed.

Of course! It's called a fuel (or petrol) tank.

You now need what is called an ADR certificate.
