Around 22% of petrol stations in London and the South East still do not have fuel, according to the executive director of the Petrol Retailers Association.
Speaking on Sky News, Gordon Balmer said: “We have a straw poll each day of our members, and yesterday about 11,000 sites responded.
“About 22% of fuel stations in London and the South East are without fuel.
“One of the situations seems to be worse with BP but we know that they are rectifying that.
“Some of our members are saying that they have been without fuel for a number of days – some over a week now.”
Mr Balmer added that the capital and the South East have been worst affected by the fuel crisis because of their denser populations, and it could take “a week to 10 days” to get all sites running with normal levels of fuel.
