Mr Cox claims he has been told some stations will not have any E10 for at least another month in a major blow for motorists. This means drivers may be forced to fill up with the “only available fuel type they can get”.
But Mr Cox has warned the fuel shortages could “risk long-term damage” to many older vehicles.
In areas where petrol stations have run out of E5 fuel, drivers may decide to use E10 even if their car is incompatible.
In particular, owners of older models have been urged to continue using E5 fuel at the Super Unleaded grade for fears the new petrol could cause damage to their vehicles.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, FairFuelUK added the Government “has a lot to answer for” once the crisis has ended.
Instead, they warn E10 may cause the car to run poorly when it is cold started but “shouldn’t be a disaster”.
Drivers are urged to simply top up with the correct fuel compound as soon as possible.
The right time to do this is usually when around a third to one half of the tank has been used.
