The queues come amid an ongoing surge in demand for fuel after BP announced they were having some problems with their supply chain last week, witha small number of petrol stations affected.
The Government and industry have assured motorists that there is no shortage of fuel, but petrol stations have continued to run dry amid a surge in panic buying.
Limits are still in place at many petrol stations.
