Some Shell gas stations run out of fuel in UK

Anglo-Dutch oil group Shell said it was seeing increased demand for fuel at some of its petrol stations as worries over lorry driver shortages sent drivers to fill up their tanks.

“We are seeing an increased demand today for fuel at some of our stations, which may in some instances result in larger queues. We are adapting our delivery schedules to ensure sufficient supplies for our customers," a spokesperson said.

A handful of Shell gas stations are thought to have run out of fuel.
