Can Gas Stations Sell Loose Gasoline?
1 Answers
Gas stations are permitted to sell bulk gasoline, but strict verification procedures must be followed. For individuals or organizations purchasing gasoline in bulk, gas stations are required to carefully verify and register the purchaser's or agent's organization, name, valid identification documents (including ID card, military officer's certificate, driver's license, etc.), purchase quantity, and intended use. Below are relevant details: 1. Reason one: China imposes strict controls on the sale of bulk gasoline due to its flammable and explosive nature. These measures aim to prevent criminals from using bulk gasoline purchases for terrorist activities or extreme violent crimes. 2. Reason two: Local commerce departments must designate gas stations as key security units and critical areas, urging them to take primary responsibility for safety precautions. This includes enhancing human, physical, and technical security measures, formulating and improving relevant work standards and operational procedures, strictly implementing the real-name registration system for bulk gasoline purchases and sales, strengthening daily safety management at gas stations, and promptly addressing potential safety hazards.
