Petroleum licence

Local petroleum licensing authorities give licences for petrol to be stored privately in large amounts, or sold and dispensed into a vehicle’s fuel tank.

For areas in Greater London or a metropolitan county, make applications to the local fire and rescue authority. In all other cases, apply with the local county or county borough council.

Fees will apply. Licences may have conditions attached.
