Monday, September 27, saw many petrol stations in Sheffield having to close after running out of fuel amid the UK-wide crisis, which is being blamed on panic-buying as well as shortages of HGV drivers.

Drivers are being urged to be sensible and respectful when it comes to filling up their vehicles in a bid to ensure there is enough fuel to go around, and many petrol stations have introduced a £30 limit to stop people from panic-buying.

It comes as some key workers say they are unable to get to work due to a lack of both petrol and diesel and troops are now being trained to help deliver fuel supplies.

A number of petrol stations in Sheffield have had to close their pumps after running out of petrol, diesel, or both, amid the national fuel shortage.

It is thought the army could begin delivering fuel by the end of the week, although Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is making preparations to deal with potential problems until “Christmas and beyond”.

The situation in Sheffield is changing daily, with different circumstances at each petrol station every day. Yesterday (Tuesday) saw a slighly better picture than Monday, with many stations either receiving or expecting a new fuel delivery.

The Star has called around petrol stations across Sheffield this morning (Wednesday) to find out which ones are currently available for you to fill up at.

Why is there a fuel shortage?

Since Friday, the Government has tried to assuage fears that there is not a ‘fuel shortage’.

The panic-buying began when a handful of BP garages reported they would have to shut because of a shortage brought on by a lack of HGV drivers to deliver fuel. Tesco was also affected.

However, this led motorists to buying up fuel at other non-affected petrol stations, which had led to an actual fuel shortage from Friday and over the weekend at the point of sale.

The issue at BP was itself exacerbated by the shortage of HGV drivers nationwide, Brexit and the pandemic.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has discouraged drivers from panic buying petrol, advising them to “carry on as usual”.

He told Sky News: “The advice would be to carry on as normal, and that is what BP is saying as well.”

Queues at forecourts has not been such a problem today – however, this is in part due to word of mouth spreading as to where has fuel to sell to begin with.

As well as ongoing fuel shortages, Sheffield motorists are being urged to plan ahead and book their vehicles in for MOTs amid a fear of a shortage of appointments in the city.
