Petroleum Licensing 

The petroleum licensing authority is responsible for ensuring safety at sites where petrol is delivered, stored and dispensed. A licence will allow you to keep an approved quantity of petroleum. It is an offence to:

  • keep an amount in excess of the quantity approved by the licence
  • fail to comply with any of the licence conditions, or
  • store licensable quantities without a licence. 

The local Petroleum Licensing Authority is the London Fire Brigade. See www.london-fire.gov.uk/Petroleum.asp for more information.
