I have noticed heaps of BP's running out of ultimate because of some problem at the refinery. Apparently according to the radio there could be problems for a few weeks.

They are due to run out next week and have supplies arriving the week after. My dad works at the refinery....If worst comes to worst you can still use the premium unleaded (shell or bp), just don't run on high boost and don't thrash the car.....Simple.

I found this out today when I got to BP and saw the bright yellow 'Sorry' signs over every Ultimate and Premium hose....

I had to put Regular in my car....oh noes

Local servo ran out, one down the road has some, enough for a week or two he said. he also said they were told not to expect more until december

I filled up the jerrys

[R32Skyliner]

I filled up at BP Myaree this arvo, so they've still got some for now.

[uneekwahn]

BP in Currambine has some, but Ocean Reef (on Prendaville) doesn't.

[G0DF4Th3R]

BP Mill Pt had some today

filled S15 to the brim and Ceffy maybe later

Ok, got an update today. Shell & BP are running low on premium also. But they expect that the bit that failed will be fixed and up and running again by Wednesday. I don't think it was the compressor but it started with a C. Lol. Sorry I don't know much about machines and that kind of thing.

I asked how long it would take till we had ultimate back at the bowser and he said 1 or 2 days after they get it running. So if all goes to plan, we will have ultimate on or before the weekend. If all does not go to plan, then they have the supplies which are already on the way. So it shouldn't be too much longer *fingers crossed* all goes to plan...

We better be compensated with cheap fuel after this has been resolved

[mitchy_]

ha, doubt it..

[noise]

The three close to me are all out, looks like a trip to th shop to grab some octane booster tommorrow.

[nelleh]

Just wait and they'll put the price of the boosters up soon as well

BP near carousel was still good on Sunday

BP defends delay in going public over fuel shortage

As reserves of premium unleaded fuel dry up in Western Australia, petrol

producer BP has defended its decision to delay telling motorists about

the problem.

BP supplies premium unleaded to more than 600 retailers state-wide but

has been unable to produce the fuel since a mechanical fault occurred at

its Kwinana refinery.

The breakdown occurred two weeks ago but BP only went public yesterday.

Company spokesman Peter Metcalfe says service stations are already

starting to run out.

"There's around about a dozen BP sites have run out completely and I

think in all honesty that situation is likely to grow," he said.

Mr Metcalfe has defended the time it took to alert the motoring public.

He says the company was not sure at first whether it had an issue and,

once the scale of the problem was realised, it tried unsuccessfully to

source additional supplies from overseas.

Motorists who can are being urged to switch to regular unleaded until

supplies are restored - hopefully - by late this month.

The Motor Trade Association says the fuel shortage shows there is a need

to set up fuel reserves in Western Australia.

The executive director of the association, Peter Fitzpatrick, says the

Government should stockpile fuel to help deal with any future shortages.

"We are very exposed with one refinery where you can have it break down

or get some contamination, and I think that the Government, and I've

asked them to do it, to look at it before, should have a strategic

reserve set aside for just this sort of contingency," he said.
