Drivers have been urged not to panic buy fuel when the strike at Grangemouth refinery goes ahead this weekend.
"If motorists in Scotland buy their normal fuel requirement, any inconvenience will be minimised," according to Ray Holloway, director of the Retail Motor Industry's Petrol Retailers Association.
"The effect of supply in Scotland will be limited due to the sheer volume of fuel already in the supply chain," Holloway continued.
The strike has been confirmed after talks between union officials and company executives broke down last night.
