About 10 percent of the plants are offline already in the region,&#xA0;which is the primary supply of motor fuels&#xA0;for the eastern U.S.</p><p>If more refineries are forced to shut or are damaged, East Coast drivers are likely to see pump prices climb along with Houston&#x2019;s rising flood waters. One million barrels of strategic stockpiles stored at sites near New York, Boston and Portland, Maine, will only stave off shortages for a day or so. Beleaguered Philadelphia-area refiners may get a shot in the arm from higher profit margins and demand for their fuel.</p><figure data-type="image" data-id="317055774" data-image-type="chart" data-image-size="full" data-align="center"><amp-img src="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/if9cMleDIunA/v2/360x-1.png" width="360" height="264.19354838709677" layout="responsive" srcset="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/if9cMleDIunA/v2/360x-1.png 360w, https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/if9cMleDIunA/v2/640x-1.png 640w, https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/if9cMleDIunA/v2/680x-1.png 680w, https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/if9cMleDIunA/v2/740x-1.png 740w"></amp-img></figure>

        </div><p>&#x201C;Extensive flooding can wreak havoc on submerged pumps, motors and switch gear,&#x201D; said Ernie Barsamian, Chief Executive Officer of The Tank Tiger, a terminal storage clearing house. &#x201C;A storm surge of five feet can shut down a refinery for a week. A surge of 10 feet can impact a refinery for a month.&#x201D;</p><p>Power failures at refineries, pipelines and terminals may curtail shipments to the East Coast on Colonial Pipeline. The line hauls 1.3 million barrels a day from Houston to the East Coast, about one quarter of the region&#x2019;s demand. Colonial doesn&#x2019;t anticipate any issues with its pipelines, spokeswoman Malesia Dunn said by email.</p><p>&#x201C;This could have really long-term disastrous consequences for some parts of the oil system,&#x201D; Verleger said. &#x201C;I have this ghastly feeling that we&#x2019;ve continually not invested enough in U.S. infrastructure, including the Colonial Pipeline.&#x201D;</p><p>During a major supply disruption, the president can tap an emergency gasoline stockpile that was created after Hurricane Sandy caused fuel shortages in 2012.

A jump in prices could bolster the argument that the plants are necessary to meet demand in the populous northeast U.S.</p><p>Gasoline and diesel distributors would also to turn to imports, which typically account for about 20 percent of the region&#x2019;s supply. The catch: prices need to be high enough to attract supply from abroad, which can take more than a week to arrive.</p><p>The East Coast may have to compete with Mexico for European supply. Mexico has been importing record amounts of fuel from the U.S. Gulf as a fire at its biggest refinery curtailed domestic supply.</p><p>New York Harbor would receive barges of fuel from Philadelphia and also tanker imports from Caribbean-based blending terminals or European refiners, Barsamian said. &#x201C;Locations without waterborne access could find barrels the hard way, via truck from other markets.&#x201D;</p>
