A second man from East Yorkshire is holed-up in crisis-hit Libya.
Keith Wilkins, 65, is stranded in a depot in Al Brega, 150 miles from the port of Benghazi.
The oil equipment inspector, of Thwing, near Driffield, is among two dozen UK workers at the Sirte Oil Company.
They have been officially warned not to risk taking the road to Benghazi.
Mr Wilkins, who has three children and three grandchildren, said: "The food has been a bit tight, they are rationing the portions out.
"But we have got no choice, we can't escape.
"It's probably safer in here than on the road to Benghazi.
"Everything we keep hearing about Gaddafi is, two or three more days, then he'll be gone.
"But nobody really knows.
"The uncertainty is a real worry, but being all together gives us a lot of confidence."
As reported in the Mail, oil worker Neil Kemp, 48, of Sutton, is holed up with a handful of Britons on an oil terminal near the town of Ajadabia, in the north-east of the country.
He decided against travelling the 100 miles to Benghazi earlier this week, due to the worsening violence in the area.
The FCO has said there are up to 220 Britons still stranded in Libya.
Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted the Government was doing everything it can to help British nationals flee the country.
