Fuel retailer says there's no need to stockpile diesel

One forecourt ran out of diesel just three hours after it was confirmed it had restocked

One of the Island's petrol and diesel retailers says there's no need to stockpile diesel.

Spar Isle of Man made the statement after its Ramsey forecourt ran dry of diesel just three hours after the company announced it had been restocked.

Spar, which runs five garages on the Island, has confirmed deliveries have now returned to normal, and the forecourt will receive an additional delivery today.

It follows what's described as an exceptionally busy week of sales at Spar's garages.
