A pair were spotted filling a bin bag-lined bucket with petrol as desperation to re-fuel continues.

In a separate incident in Essex, five men bundled into stationary cars as they brawled while drivers queued for the pumps.

One of the men could be heard saying: ‘You didn’t need it,’ as they fought over short supplies.

Sources have suggested the disruption could last another month, such is the time it would take to refill stations.

In Epping, Essex, men accusing each other of taking too much fuel came to blows with a fight in the middle of the road.
