sma01 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 i got some today in the shell next to pc world in edinburgh, the girl behind the counter said they were 1 of the last in scotland with any left and that they were nearly out......she said that there was a mistake made with 1 of the additives to the fuel and its caused a massive problem, they have been told 2-3 weeks for fresh stock apparently.......... scott
euan_r Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 plenty in keith filled up twice yesterday and once more today

wrxmania Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Just spoke to Shell Whitburn and they said, via the manager: "Basically what is happening is Shell have added a new additive to the fuel that improves performance, economy and cleaning power. They have had to wait until all the tanks in Scotland were empty and then test them - we had our tanks tested at the end of the week - to make sure they can take the new mixture. We don't know when deliveries will resume but, basically, once all the stations in Scotland are empty and tested it should restart". So that's what is happening! Brian.
W88CHY Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 You sold the car then Charlie???? Kenny Yes mate, wasn't planned - but gone now. Going discrete now, will be back in classic form too though at some point (as a weekend toy). For now, something that doesn't crash over potholes and I can park without paranoia......
Scooby Wagon Addict Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Hi, I'm desperate for V-Power or Tesco 99 in Glasgow! Pollokshaws Rd, Thornliebank and the Shell opposite Auldhouse Ind Estate all out and as said b4 Tesco Silverburn pumps as far as I kno are down.. Any left in Clydebank or Linwood? Cheers, Steve Edited March 29, 2010 by Scooby Wagon Addict
StrikE Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Oh dear, glad mine is not a daily commuter, well judging by the backwards manner of most areas of improvement in the local area i could probably guarantee the shell tanks wont be adequate for the regrade in Lanark. Think they are still using tanks constructed outa brick
sti pretender Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I'm stuck as I have a Shell company fuel card, having to run unleaded and booster. Suppose I shouldn't complain use my car everyday and only pay about £60 tax for my personal fuel a month.
micra_wrc Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Steve 'Scooby Wagon Addict' - I think Tesco Springburn has 99

addison Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Thank you for your email. We are doing all we can to resume supply of Shell V-Power, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. The shortage is due to the high demand for the product and issues within our supply chain that we are working to resolve. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service centre at 0800 731 8888 for any other queries.
mystery machine Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 The shortage is due to the high demand for the productYou've got to love those PR folks. Shell somehow make a c*nt of supplying V-Power and they make it sound like it's out of stock because - hey - it's just such wonderfully in-demand and fabby stuff! ... and issues within our supply chain that we are working to resolve.Ah, so supply and demand are inversely proportional? Who'd have thunk it?
terzo neil Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 linwood is out of v-power and they are un aware of any supply problem
StrikE Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Asked the rather nice looking girl in shell tonight regarding v power. What can i say? At least she has her looks going for her, as for the rest ..........
terzo neil Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) filled the van up, took a look at the v-power price and the heart must have stopped for atleast 5 secs Edited March 29, 2010 by Terzo Neil

terzo neil Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 would you believe it was linwood shell 2nd pump in from the road
GazTurboUK Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Asked the rather nice looking girl in shell tonight regarding v power. What can i say? At least she has her looks going for her, as for the rest .......... aye she didnt have a clue last week when i asked her either lol
