BC Hydro Power..no fuel in the north

Gary,

Good to know if you're up that way. BUT, we also have a planned outage in Ucluelet and Tofino on Sept 23rd from 8am to 4:30pm. Navigate Here For Details. One gas station in Ucluelet can pump gas during an outage, and that's the Co-op gas bar. I don't know if the Petro-Can is capable or not (they never used to be). I have no idea about Tofino stations. Best would be to fuel up the day before if you plan on leaving the area that day. And, most businesses will probably be closed.

Just a heads-up to anyone still coming out for their vacation.

Cheers!
Mike

They had a very similar situation near here last year. Since it was a planned outage several large stations had brought in large standby rental generators for the day.

It was business as usual for them right through the outage.

I found 6 old 45 gl drums filled with gas. I figure on parking at the Kitwanga Intersection and making my fortune.

I guess if you are passing through on Sunday and need fuel, you will be spending some time in your area.
