NOTAM or not, I would always ensure that fuel is available. It is kinda basic management of your flight wouldn't you say??
​​​​​As you’ve used so many question marks, your question must be serious.

What if that outback airport has no one at the end of the phone??? LIke YLEC???? Wouldn’t it be helpful if a NOTAM were published noting that YLEC’s fuel bowser was inoperative, after an itinerant aircraft reported that the bowser was malfunctioning??????
