Motorists should not put "pressure on the pumps" ahead of Wednesday's fuel price hike as some filling stations may run dry, the SA Petroleum Retailers Association said.

Noke urged all service station owners experiencing the shortages to come forward, as the association would assist in solving the shortage.
