BULK SALES of petroleum products will be made in metric measure from January 1 if the petroleum industry achieves its target. Packaged lubricating oil and greases will also change to metric sizes.
Thus, pence per gallon will become pence per litre and pence per pound weight will become pence per kilogram.
The petroleum industry has undertaken to keep its customers informed of the progress of the new arrangement.
Operators wishing to familiarise themselves and their staff about the change-over can obtain a free leaflet, Going metric in the petroleum industry, from the Metrication Board, 22 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6LE.
