Do I need a licence?
If you store petroleum spirit (petrol) in a tank, which is dispensed in to a
motor vehicle's tank then you will almost certainly need a
licence to do so. (There are one or two exceptions to this rule. These relate to
storage for use in motor vehicles or other internal combustion engines –
contact us for more details).
I need a licence, now what do I do?
You can either contact
us to request an application pack, or you can download
a form to complete and return to us at:

This should be completed and returned, along with copies of drawings of your
premises (scale 1:100), showing the proposed location and storage arrangements
for storage of petroleum. The design should comply with the principles of the
Design, Construction, Modification, Maintenance and Decommissioning Of Filling
Stations (2nd edition ISBN 0 85293 419X).
We will consider the application once we have received all relevant
