DIESEL shortage in Australia (Victoria) Breaking
Just a heads up to anyone looking for Diesel. Its running out and stockpiles are being reserved for law enforcement emergency services ect...


stories of trucking companies running out of fuel ect...

this could get ugly

link

VICTORIA Police has warned motorists driving diesel-powered vehicles to ensure they have enough fuel for the next few days.

Shell’s Geelong refinery, one of only two in Victoria, has had production problems since last Tuesday, reducing the state’s diesel supply by 50 per cent.

Whats the problem with the refinery ?

Refinerie$ are used as bottlenecks for fuel ,,, ooops does this mean the price of diesel will rise dramatically soon ?

Didn't they recently shut down the Kurnell refinery in
Sydney ?

Re: DIESEL shortage in Australia (Victoria) Breaking
I posted about this two days ago and got laughed at because the article I linked was focused on rural needs.

Thread: Australian Fuel Shortage Looming

I was told by a refinery worker last Wednesday night that things were looking to get so bad that they are planning to introduce the odds and evens numberplate system to ration the fuel sometime this week. I am aware that several stations in Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong (no small rural backwater towns by any means) are out of diesel fuel already and queues at other stations are long.

I live quite remotely and run on diesel - can't get to work, buy food, go anywhere without diesel. Don't even have public transport or a horse, and the nearest town is 17 kms away - a 6 hour walk, at least.

This could affect the whole nation - if we run out, we will be asking for supply from other states, no doubt. There's also the knock on effects of delayed/ruined harvest for next year's grain and stockfeed supplies...

Definitely something to be concerned about and remain alert to!

diesel is the biggest scam since loaning fake money

a good way to sell less refined junk to industry and convince you the 2 bit of compression increase give you more torque and fuel economy

dudes repairing diesel injection pumps and injectors are buying ferrari's on your dollar

meanwhile the HQ ute from 1975 with an aftermarket $200 2 barrel holley still has the 2 barrel holley that was built in 1975 with a $20 gasket kit and does 7l/100km on the highway

But your VW GOLF is winning cause its new and plastiki and the trillionaries programmed you that you must have it so you can make them another trillion.

How dramatic! Thanks for the heads up, I was running low went to a couple of stations and they were all out, but third time lucky so tanked up.

So again thank you. Trying to fill up tomorrow would have been a nightmare.
