Pockets of the UAE are experiencing empty petrol pumps, leading to long line-ups and frustrated drivers.
Motorists can expect continued disruptions at Enoc and Eppco gas stations in Sharjah as company officials upgrade new petrol pumps at select locations, says a spokesperson.
Khalid Hadi, director of brand and corporate communications for Enoc, the parent company, told Gulf News Thuirsday that modernizing pumps will take some time, but no deadline has been set for completion.
He acknowledged that some stations were not working earlier this week in Sharjah.
The shortages at the pumps this week fall not long after competing petrol stations were reportedly disrupted at stations in Dubai in April.
Enoc issued a statement noting that the company is working to keep fuel flowing through the company's stations while work continues to upgrade facilities.
"Enoc is managing its fuel supplies to meet the current demand. This involves a two-pronged approach of regulating the distribution of fuel through our network, as well as upgrading selected stations," the firm said.

"Enoc is working with concerned authorities to further enhance the supplies. Simultaneously, we are accelerating the upgrade process.
"Selected stations will be upgraded progressively with the result that the operation of some petrol islands would be temporarily suspended. We regret any inconvenience caused to our customers."
