Petroleum licenses
If you store more than 15 litres of petrol 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 Trading Standards.
All fees for a petroleum licence are payable annually.
for storage of not more than 2,500 litres - £42
for storage exceeding 2,500 litres but not more than 50,000 litres - £58
for storage exceeding 50,000 litres - £120
The fee for transferring a licence is £8 and you can download the PDF form needed to apply for a transfer from this page.
