Activists from Just Stop Oil have been hampering access to petrol and diesel for days, demanding that the Government stops new fossil fuel projects by digging tunnels or storming the terminals.
Nathan McGovern, 22, and Louis McKechnie, 21, say they have been disrupting operations at Grays oil depot, in Essex, for approximately 31 hours after chaining themselves to pipes on Sunday.
Many petrol stations across the south of the UK are closed after running out of petrol and diesel following days of disruption from Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.
