run on fuel.

Do you remember a few weeks ago the panic buying of fuel. Well it happened in town, diesel dried up fast. and the queues where stopping normal traffic flow
I was not even trying to get fuel at this point, but was stuck in the traffic jam for 20 mins. As I finally got passed the fuel station, I see a sign saying no diesel.

That was great, no blockage, no tanker driver strike. Just the talk of they maybe a strike, after 7 day notice. and there is panic buying on fuel. It did not help that a minister said to stock some fuel at home in a 20 litre jerry can, which is wrong. you can only store 10 litres per container.

After the second day, and pleas from the media and ministers to not panic buy, the diesel running out again! 

My minibus was getting low on fuel. There was only one thing to do, use the Fuel Contingency Plan.

Now I am not going to tell you much about it, Just that I ended up queuing for the fuel there too.


Oh well at least there was only one waiting in front of me.

  Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.
