No fuel at 1/2 way house on the Putty

[MadKaw]

From the mcc of nsw

Evening all, the halfway cafe on the putty doesn't have fuel anymore.

This is due to BP charging the owners 12 cents a litre for cartage to get the fuel there as I found out on Thursday when I went through.

Also the servo at the Colo river will never sell fuel again. His tanks were leaking & the RTA won't let him put new tanks in as they reckon he is too close to the river, so its refuel at the ampol on top of the hill or broke.

This servo is supplied by a fuel distributor called Simpsons, who are charging primary and secondary rates, which is way over the usual rate. I am in talks with head office to try and get the customer supplied direct, but it may be that the site doesn not come up to spec required to be a primary BP Servo.

It is a little rough....

Keep us informed as its a very popular stop on a Putty Run and long trip to the next servo.....

you sit there and have one of the aldi powerade's, and watch all the cars pull in and look at the out of order signs...

all while listening tot he country music top 5000 on the foxtel. it must be the only channel they can get out there.

so if theres no fuel at the halfway house and that other place, where else can you fill up around there? putting a jerrycan in a ventura rackbag?

They need to do the right thing and put up 'Last Fuel' signs at either end, if I owned the servo's at either end, it would be the first thing I'd do....but as they say, You cant buy common sense !!
