Charter to British Petroleum from Air Libya (NOT related to Libyan airlines) Dense smoke filled the cockpit during takeoff roll. Aborted. Several Libyan customs agents on board. (probably a crew change at the British Petro. facility). All exited the aircraft. Fire probably under the cockpit floor or panel and electrical. Pilot reported that smoke so dense you couldn't see the length of the cabin during exit. BP sent their very modern fire crew and trucks to the airport about from about 2-3km away. But forgot to put water in the water tanker truck. Air Libya, at the time, was a charter ops; British and American owned with Libyan partner. One of 3 oil field charter operations and not related to Libyan (Arab) Airlines.
