The situation at filling stations remains essentially unchanged. Site operators still need to be licensed by their local Petroleum Licensing Authority. By 'filling station' we mean any site, which dispenses petrol by electrical or mechanical means into a vehicle, boat, ship or aircraft. It does not include sites where petrol is dispensed into vehicles etc. from a container. Filling stations can be either 'retail' - where petrol is on sale to the public, or 'non-retail' where petrol is dispensed into an organisation's own vehicles etc; common examples of this are car-hire firms, police stations and farms.
