fueling up at Broken Hill or Little Topar

Hello slush/DD,
I have joined as I live 50 metres from the Shell outlet.
Shell Coles fuel outlet is on main highway at third roundabout coming in from the West on the Barrier Highway.

There are pumps for fuel under the carport roof with a max clearance of three metres. If your vehicle is over that you can use the outside pumps next to footpath.

If you turn left at roundabout into Bromide Street there are pumps on end of building.
One of these pumps has a fast flow nozzle for trucks.
This may be tight to access if making a right turn from Bromide Street.
You may need to go to next intersection in Bromide St to do a U turn

Google Street view shows the pumps.

Is the diesel a high or low flow nozzle? The high flows are a real pain with the 100 series.

I'm pretty sure they have both. Mine will take either.

I would like to use the high flow but the nozzle only just fits into both the main and sub filler and you end up with it switching off every few seconds. Luckily I am never in a rush when in the Toyota. It's a 2005 GXL. That's most probably the difference to the 105.

I checked my record today as I had to refill south of Adelaide. The Broken Hill fuel was 160.9 cpl...not 156.9

The filler for the 100 and 105 would be the same.

I have found if you fill the sub tank 1st..then the main tank farts and gurgles a lot and is slow to fill.

There is something different about them and I just go to the slow ones instead of stuffing around with doing one before the other. We have changed the sub to a dual long ranger and even before than they stuffed up. I may want to fill the sub first to get an accurate measurement of how much I used so why bother. Even the bloke behind the counter had trouble with it. So no more. Easy fixed.

Thanks

The Woolies servo is next to a shopping centre (Westside Plazza?) which can be handy for toilets, a coffee or snack and a walk. Obviously Maccas is there as well, but the coffee shops inside are better unless you want free internet.
