What's going on with the fuel?

Question

I work in a filling station in East Anglia and we have been out of diesel since Saturday and we will be out of unleaded by this evening.

I know they had a fire at coryton, in essex ( where our fuel comes from) but it wasn't at the oil refinery. It was a neptha gas tower so why are our supplies disrupted?

Answer 1

Apparently it is a refinery, that'll be why you've got no supplies coming.

Not a problem in Canada

Answer 3

Hi Susie...

In the midlands for now we are ok..

as its about £1.01 for petrol and £1.05 for diesel locally, some probalbly cant afford to fill up, like me!.

if it starts to spread there will be panic everywhere!

Answer 4

Whereabouts in East Anglia are you? I'm in South Cambs and haven't had any problems getting fuel - just feeling a bit annoyed about the prices!

Answer 5

fuel? we are running out.

Answer 6

we haven't got a problem where i live', it must be a local thing
