Given the “difficulties in supplying” service stations and noting an “overconsumption of fuel” at the pump in recent days, the prefect of the Rhône has issued an order to stop the constitution of personal stocks.
Therefore, from Tuesday 7 a.m., it will now be prohibited to buy fuel in jerrycans, cans and any other "manually transportable container".
It is a question of “preventing the risk of tensions in the queues” leading to the service stations, he underlines.
Last weekend, motorists rushed to the pumps out of “caution”, which the delegate prefect for defense and security deplores.
"The situation remains stable compared to the end of last week," he said again.
This measure will come into force until October 21 throughout the Rhône department and the metropolis of Lyon.
