Card Lock Stations
How do they work ? Regular Visa, Master Cards ?
Forum Discussion
Let's see, I have a Co-op cardlock for my diesel truck for the following:
1) Open 24/7. If I need fuel at oh-dark-thirty, I can get fuel at oh-dark-thirty.
2) I can fill the tank at one go - no multiple swipes OR locked down CC.
3) Not having to argue with some moronic tourist in a sports car that the pump he just pulled up to is the one I need as it's the only one that dispenses diesel; and the other pump is completely empty.
4) I sometimes carry 2 50L/14Gal portable tanks for extended range. Those things are ^&%^%$ heavy when full! At the regular pump I have to take them out of the truck to fill up. Not so at the cardlock - I just hook the slip tank grounding line to them. This gives me the range to get almost anything on Southern Vancouver Island and still get home without visiting a distant station.
5) A monthly bill helps show just how much fuel my truck actually consumes per month.
Yeah, so I don't know the price at the pump (ours just show 1.000/L for price) and don't know until I get the bill. But I think the convenience factor more than makes up for it!
Cheers!
