What documents are required to purchase gasoline?

[LillianaLynn]

Different situations require different documents. Below is a detailed introduction regarding the documents needed to purchase gasoline: 1. For organizations: The handling personnel need to provide a letter of introduction from the organization (specifying the purpose and quantity), a copy of the organization's business license, and their personal identification documents, etc., to obtain a certificate from the local police station, and then purchase from the nearest designated gas station. 2. For individuals: The purchaser needs to provide an application approved by the local residential (village) committee (specifying the purpose and quantity), their personal identification documents, etc., to obtain a certificate from the local police station, and then purchase from the nearest designated gas station.

I've been driving for many years and have plenty of experience buying gasoline. Normally, at gas stations, you can just pump fuel directly into your tank without any proof—just pay with a card or cash. However, if you want to buy gasoline in bulk, like filling a gas can, you'll need to prepare some documents, such as your ID and proof of purpose. Once when I was camping and tried to buy some, the staff asked a lot of questions, mainly to prevent misuse or arson. Regulations have become stricter because there have been cases of gasoline being used for destructive purposes. So, I always remind beginners to bring their documents and use leak-proof containers—safety first. Also, remember environmental concerns—don’t waste or pollute. In short, refueling for daily driving is simple, but special needs require following the rules.

Thinking back to my younger days, buying gasoline wasn't as complicated as it is now. Back then, you could just take a can to the gas station without any documentation. Things have really changed. Like the other day when I went to buy some spare gasoline, the staff insisted on checking my ID and making me write a reason for the purchase, such as for home maintenance, saying it was to prevent incidents involving teenagers or illegal activities. The government has tightened safety regulations, and I think it's a good thing—at least it reduces the risk of fires. Regular car refueling is still the same; just pay and you're good to go. My driving instructor also emphasized these differences when I was learning, so as not to get confused. In short, times have progressed, and we have to adjust our habits accordingly.

When I first got my driver's license, I thought buying gasoline was a simple task. Once, I wanted to get some in a container for backup, but was asked for proof. After checking online, I found out that purchasing bulk gasoline usually requires an ID and a statement of purpose, like a work certificate, otherwise it's not allowed. Nowadays, gas stations have these rules mainly for safety reasons, to prevent misuse. Filling up a car is much easier—just scan and pay. I think newcomers should learn these details in advance to avoid unnecessary trips.
