Anton Redman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Local ( North Gironde) service stations are restricting customers to 10 litres of Diesel due to Fisshermen's industrial action round port of Bordeaux.Not sure how wide spread problem is and do not intend to use my fuel up finding out.

Anton Redman Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Bordeaux was back to near normal Today (Thursday) Auchan at Bordeaux Lac was having a fuel delivery. Queues slightly longer than normal and a request to only fill fuel tanks and not petrol cans at petrol stations.Why diesel - At a guess one third of pumps and one third of tank capacity at Service Stations is diesel but adjusting for most high mileage users having diesel vans or cars probably two thirds of usage is diesel.
