Fuel supply problems in France?
Ok, so in 8 days time I'll be setting off for Le mans with the Furore, so obviously a great time for the French fuel industry to go on strike!
It sounds as tho' probs over there are easing, but has anyone got recent experience of fuel supply in France, is there still a problem or not -
bearing in mind I have around a 160 - 180 mile "safe" range?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Hi Russ
As I am one of the group travelling with you I'm asking myself the same questions 
Facebook contact with some of the LM regulars who live in France & camp with us are telling us that all is well & back to normal.
The French seem to want the Euro '16 footie to happen without incident, which seems fortunate for us motorsport fans.
Hope so, given my titchy fuel tank - 150 miles tops. See you in Neufchatel in a weeks time 
Cheers
Matt

Hi Russ, I drove from Calais to St Tropez last Monday/Tuesday by AutoRoute without any sign of problems. On arrival local station was out of juice but
fully functioning next day. I drove across country to Paul Rickard on Saturday with no further sign of trouble. Locals tell me the initial problem was
panic buying, now basically resolved ( until the next strike of course, this France ).

Thanks for the info guys, you've confirmed what i thought was probably the case, usual media hype blowing things out of all proportion!
Matt D. look forward to meeting you next week! Let's hope for some decent weather!
