Fuel company: 'You need a licence to store fuel'

Ellan Vannin Fuels (EVF) is reminding people not to store fuel without a licence. 

It comes after the closure of petrol stations in the UK due to the stockpiling of fuel.

EVF said that storing over 10 litres of fuel is a criminal offence unless you have a licence. 

A licence from the Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading is needed to store petrol in your home, garage, workshop or at motorsport events. 

In a social media post the company says they will challenge anyone who is suspected of taking fuel to store it.
