Platinum Member digger Posted May 5, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 For those of you with a petrol Jeep attending JT this year who haven't been to Tuff Terrains area before you might like to know the following. If you are like me and hate putting that E10 rubbish in your car then you should know that the nearest fuel station at Cross gates did not have E5 last year. There was another station on the Builth road from Llandod which did but I cannot confirm this, this year on the net. I found very few other stations on our travels in the area which did. So, I you might like having a barrel with you and or carrying stabiliser additive in case you are stuck. Hope this helps someone. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member V Posted May 5, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 You just reminded me of an event I did there back in 2001 during the weekend of the petrol tanker blockade. Those that found fuel to get there also managed to bring at least one 20L jerry can of petrol (some three) and we made a fuel storage dump in the field for our collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about that. I topped up with E5 there every morning when we went grocery shopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member V Posted May 6, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 Perhaps we bought all their E5 and they ran out when you got there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted May 7, 2023 Author Platinum Member Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Never mind. At least everyone should be aware to keep an alert on the issue. I love Wales but it's not so good every where for proper fuel availability. I've also found its not so easy online to find out if stations sell E5. It may be me of course! There is difficulty in Jeep camp South Wales area too. You just have to be aware. I nearly ran out coming back from Brechfa last year. I went to 3 garages. 1st didn't sell it and the 2nd 2 were both locked off. I went in and asked what the score was in the second(Shell) in ,I think, the Trecastle area. The lady admitted they had it but kept it for local regulars in older cars! I explained I'd have to stay the night where I'd stopped! She kindly rang the garage owner who thankfully agreed she could unlock it for me! I could have some but only £25 to get me back to Abercrave area where it was available.
