March 19 (Reuters) - Australia's competition regulator said on Thursday it has launched an investigation into allegations of anti-competitive conduct by major fuel suppliers including Ampol ALD.AX, BP's Australian unit, Mobil Oil Australia and Viva Energy's unit.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said it received reports regarding diesel availability to independent wholesalers and distributors serving regional and rural areas, and would assess the alleged conduct.
