Other petrol stations in the Belfast area have also been struggling with fuel shortages, with the Sainsbury's petrol station at Forestside being reduced to one pump.
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said, "Some of our pumps at our Forestside petrol filling station are temporarily closed. All our sites are receiving more fuel and we’ll reopen the pumps again as soon as possible. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this may cause."
There have been reports on social media that the Tesco petrol stations have been closed a number of times over the past week due to a lack of fuel.
Tesco has been contacted for comment but has not responded at the time of publication.
