Canning fuel dump

Are you riding motorbikes? What will your fuel capacity be and are you going North/South or the reverse? There is an alternative fuel outlet at Cotton Creek which is about 108km from Well 23 and they may sell petrol.

Cheers

Cant help you with the fuel, I was part of a expedition that rode the Canning Stock Route on 4 Yamaha AG175's in 1974. That was an adventure! Have fun

We supplied fuel by air, it was thrown out of an aircraft in 1 litre tins wrapped in foam. Nearly burnt the aircraft on a dirt strip near Well 24 when we lit a fire to show the land party where we had landed and the spinifex surrounding the plane caught fire.

Before I get criticised for lighting fires, desert dwelling aborigines continuously lit fires in that area in those days, we just lit one more.

Would be interested in exploring the idea further (need 100+ L of ULP to get to Newman or Well 33), but we don't expect to be at Well 23 until the end of August, so maybe Capricorn RH will want their drum back before then?

Cheers John

Have you tried contacting the general store at the Kunawaraiji community to see what they offer, I know they have diesel but you can see if they also have the fuel you require.

I'm sorry to sound dumb!..
But been curious for a while as to what the fuel dumps are?

Can't you just fill tank up at roadhouse like one would normally do at petrol station?

cheers

not dumb mate, the servo that delivers the fuel is a little way west at Newman. So they bring drums of fuel into the "dump" so you don't have to make the trip to Newman. Hope that helps mate?

Yeah cheers guys,

always wondered about that.

As i maybe moving from sydney to Karatha in WA ,,,,maybe i can do the CSR

so its got me thinking....has anyone risked it.....not ordering fuel and oped that left overs were there??? Not that we would do it but just wondering if anyone has!!
