I had just got fuel around 1pm when I went in to pay the computers had crashed, managed to pay cash. They said that the computers crashed before and they could only take cash but this time you could not even get fuel :( :(
The pumps would not clear they rebooted the system twice but no luck.

Think the computers crashed. We were out and about at 5ish and they had closed up! But had taken the cones away from the entrance, so all the cars were going in!

Not good for me - the petrol light is on! :shock:

Carradale is dry too, so don't waste what you've got left coming up. New deliveries due on Thursday, I'm told.

Once again reinforces the need for another station in Campbeltown.

Don't they have a contingency plan????/ :evil:

Heard they ran out at Tayinloan too :( . Clachan was doing a roaring trade :D :D
Had a relative travelling up the road today and he had only a quarter of a tank. Phoned Tarbert Petrol station and the lovely owner offered to come out on new years day and fill up his car :D :D :D . Didn't need to though cause between us we managed to gather together half a tank with all the spare cans we kept for our quad bikes, tractors etc!!! Nice of the tarbert man to offer though :P :P
