Police marshal drivers at petrol stations after shortage sparks panic buying

Petrol stations on motorways and major roads are being prioritised for fuel deliveries.The advice would be to carry on as normal, and that is what BP is saying as well.President Edmund King said: "There is no shortage of fuel and thousands of forecourts are operating normally with just a few suffering temporary supply chain problems.

"Fridays and the weekend always tend to be busier on forecourts as drivers either combine filling up with shopping runs, prepare for weekend trips or refuel for the start of the new working week. "Drivers should not fill up outside their normal routines because, even if the occasional petrol station is temporarily closed, others just down the road will be open.

"It is now clear that there have been occasional delays over recent weeks that have been managed with hardly anyone noticing. This was a manageable problem."22 Empty fuel pumps on the forecourt of an Esso Garage in Hastings, East Sussex, which has already run out of diesel and is short of petrolQueues for fuel at the Tesco petrol station in Ely, CambridgeshireAn aerial view of vehicles waiting to fill up at a petrol station in Ely, CambridgeshireA store manger trying to take control of the situation in Sidcup, south east LondonChaos as drivers queue for petrol in Tonbridge, KentQueues at a Sainsbury's petrol station in Colton, LeedsTransport...
