Inspection of transported fuel

A police officer or other person authorized by the Minister may, at any place and at any reasonable time, stop a vehicle for inspection and

  • require the driver to produce the manifest or way-bill respecting the transportation of fuel;
  • ask to see the copy of the bulk-fuel carrier's permit, where applicable;
  • measure the capacity of the fuel tank; and
  • examine the fuel being transported or the fuel used to supply the engine, and take the necessary fuel samples.

If the driver refuses to submit to the inspection, fails to provide documents, or has committed an offence, the officer or other authorized person may order that the vehicle not be moved until a judge makes a ruling with respect to the search or seizure of the vehicle.
