"Donnez-moi l’essence." or Mettez de l’essence." For "Give me petrol" do you say "Donnez-moi l’essence." or Mettez de l’essence"? Or is either OK? In the first one, should it instead be "Donnez-moi de l’essence"?

Hi ! "Donnez-moi de l'essence" is ok, but I would use "Je voudrais de l'essence". But I don't think you will use this sentence, because all the gas stations have self-service.

@Marc - This comes from the same audio course that included "Est-ce qu’il y a un téléphone à la poste ?", which gives you some idea of the era in which it was written, so maybe there was no self-service back then either!
