    Diesel shortage Melbourne - Fill your car up

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-0...-aired/4412644

    Not really sure "exactly" whats going on but apparently the two local servo's in my area have ran out of diesel and all the talk back radios are getting phoners saying similar things around Melbourne.

    Might want to fill your beast up today before the weekend, just in case...

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Just went for a drive around Bayswater and all the servos were out of Diesel.

    Except one 7/11 store...

    I haven't driven the Pootrol since cup week, dunno how much she's got in her. I just filled a work car at the Todd Rd servo at the bottom of the westgate, no drama's there... so far... If they run out there it'll be a worry, massive amounts of trucks fill up there!!!
