The second day of the inquest into the deaths of Fernando Manrique, his wife Maria Lutz and their two children heard he paid a friend to take delivery of the deadly gas. 9News

Following the 2016 deaths, the company removed carbon monoxide from its public website so only approved customers could order it, production manager Robert Brittliff told the inquest on Tuesday.

But once a customer follows that process the only additional check likely to stop them receiving the gas is if the delivery driver becomes suspicious it wasn't going to be used properly.However, a customer determined to "bluff" their way through the initial declaration form would likely be able to get their hands on the gas even if they faced further questions, Mr Brittliff said.

Trucking company Linfox says drivers are "empowered" to make decisions when they deliver products to customers.
