The cream of the existence of exceptions as a result of a crisis are usually shipped tanks loaded with gasoline from the South to a storehouse in both Baghdad (Karkh and Rusafa) and said : our work on the portable tank from the south directly to the stations instead of going to the warehouse and we have tubes connected from the port (Khor Al-Zubair) to the Karkh warehouse where petrol pumps daily rate (3.5 million liters), and are transported through the tanks and transport tanks and the private sector will be distributed to fuel stations. In the days of the crisis was more than that figure.
