Motorway service stations around the county were left out of fuel today.
Drivers had been warned there was no fuel at the clockwise M25 services at Clacket Lane and the M20 junction 11 services at Folkestone.
There is fuel available at Clacket Lane on the anti-clockwise M25 however.
Shell UK, which operates the M20 garage, confirmed its shortage is not linked to the M25 shortage at a BP garage.
A spokesman for Shell said: "There is no issue that has caused this problem, it's just a stock outage which will be rectified as soon as possible."
Highways England confirmed just after 12.30pm fuel was available again at both service stations.
BP revealed the clockwise Clacket Lane services were closed for electrical works, which took one hour.
