The bowser owners demand the transport charges increased by 25%. They say the Minister of Petroleum Industry Susil Prema Jayantha also agreed to a 20% increase although the officials had not granted it.
They have rejected the 18% increase granted to them by the Ceylon Petroleum Stores Terminals Corporation.
The association has membership of around 600 bowser owners.
