Fuel retailer urges motorists to avoid refilling diesel until tomorrow

Two of Spar's five forecourts are out of diesel

One of the Island's petrol and diesel retailers is urging motorists to avoid refilling if possible until it receives a delivery tomorrow.

Spar says two of its five forecourts are out of diesel, having limited customers to £20 of diesel after stocks ran low.

After Spar's Ramsey and Ronaldsway outlets were left without diesel, the company is asking anyone who's fuel will last until tomorrow to wait until then before repurchasing.

Peel's branch has also contacted Manx Radio this morning to confirm it's now out of diesel.

Spar has confirmed unleaded petrol remains in stock at all of its garages.

Meanwhile the Laxey Towing Company confirmed it piloted a tanker carrying fuel for Manx Petroleum into Douglas on Saturday.

UPDATE AT 10AM: Spar has now confirmed it will receive a delivery of diesel to its forecourts today.
