LONDON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell said
on Friday it was seeing more demand at some of its fuel stations
in Britain as worries about lorry driver shortages prompted
drivers to fill up their tanks.
"We are adapting our delivery schedules to ensure sufficient
supplies for our customers," a spokesperson said, adding that
rising demand "may in some instances result in larger queues."
A handful of Shell gas stations are thought to have run out
of fuel. Shell has around 1,000 stations across Britain.
BP said it was prioritising fuel deliveries in
Britain to sites with the highest demand and seeking to minimise
the amount of time its petrol and diesel pumps were empty.
