SERVICE stations in the area are preparing for low fuel levels and rising prices as many questions "higher up in the fuel chain" remain.
TASCO Petroleum has also instructed their stations across the state to also enfore similar rules through a letter sent to owners.
"Due to unusually high demand, temporary fuel limits are in place," the letter sent to AMPOL Charlton said.
The letter said a registered vehicle and a maximum of one 25L approved jerry can per transaction.
This meant trailer tanks, pods, drums or bulk containers and IBCs or similar vessels would not be filled.
"These measures help ensure fair access and continued supply for all customers," the letter said.
A representative from AMPOL St Arnaud confirmed they don't yet have them in place.
TASCO Petroleum network includes outlets in Wedderburn, Serpentine, Charlton, St Arnaud, Kerang and Bendigo.
TASCO Petroleum has been contacted for comment.
