Motorists warned on petrol stocks and storage rules
Regulations issued today bar motorists holding more than 12 gallons of petrol from moving or disposing of it before mid August. Stocks must be kept in reserve until instructions arrive from the Liquid Fuel Board, which may permit disposal or use under certain circumstances. Those with over 12 gallons face penalties and must declare stock by August 31. Alloy steel drums must be returned to oil companies within 18 days of becoming empty. The minister noted a census is being conducted to ensure all stocks are properly accounted for.
