Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador expressed regret over the incident on Twitter, saying that he had instructed emergency workers to bring the fire under control and treat the victims.
He has launched a major crackdown on increasing fuel theft in Mexico, which cost the country some $3 billion last year.
The death toll from the blast could rise further as 48 people have been badly injured.
