The two-day strike at Grangemouth oil refinery has started, with 1,200 staff walking out in a row over pensions.
Production earlier ceased at the plant, Scotland's only oil refinery, and BP has shut its key Forties oil pipeline.
The government insisted there was enough fuel to go round and extra supplies were being shipped in.
Industry body Oil and Gas UK said the 48-hour walkout could cost the UK £50m a day.

After the 2-day strike, it could take weeks to get output again....
I bet Brownose is worried about the loss of revenue.....
