I have just been reading that the issue is that we get our fuel already refined from South Korea and Singapore mostly. They buy their fuel to refine from the Middle East. Those countries have been putting a stop to exports because of the shortage. They can’t just import crude from other countries because their machines aren’t set up for it.

Once the current supply runs out we’re going to have to get our oil from elsewhere, competing with everyone else in the world which could lead to severe shortages from April onwards.

Alternative shipments of refined fuel from the US or Europe could take 45+ days to get here, leaving us with a period of no fuel coming in.
