UK motorists are being urged to buy fuel only if they need it, as tanker driver start a four day strike over pay.
The tanker drivers, that deliver fuel to Shell forecourts in the UK, went on strike this morning and have picketed numerous sites throughout the UK.
A last ditch meeting, aimed at resolving the issue ended without agreement as the Unite Union rejected an enhanced pay offer.
It is thought that the knock on effects of the strike will be felt almost immediately.
