FUEL AGENTS - Best & Worst
Something Different;
While flying in the USA, unusual things happened when I went to buy fuel. I was greeted with a smile, offered lifts, bags were carried, perspex cleaned etc. etc.
Quite different from a lot of places Down Under.
Having taxyed up to a number of fuel agents over the years, I have met some great Guys & Gals as well as some real Snarlers.
How about some replies on were the best service is. This helps all as turnaround time and service helps big time.
For me - thumbs up go to:
AIR BP @ Townsville
SHELL @ Emerald
AIR BP @ Archerfield
Mobil @ Mildura

Rose at Leigh Creek BP is a classic! I think everyone in SA knows of her! Thumbs Up from me. The guys and gals at Coober Pedy go the extra mile too. On one night flight from Alice to Adelaide I called them up inbound and mentioned that I was a bit hungry and they thrust a steak sandwich in my hand. It certainly hit the spot!

AirBP and Shell at Jandakot Airport. All give you a smile and the odd bad joke and if you are lucky a cap to keep the sun off. Can't complain they are a good bunch of blokes.

Bub Ploger at Windorah takes my vote for one of the best.
Bub calls a spade a "bloody shovel" but is always ready with a cold drink and a helping hand.
Country hospitality at its best
Good on ya Bub!
All the ports on the Virgin Blue network have refuellers that are very helpful. Most do what they can to help.
Keep it up guys, it is appreciated!

Richard @ Emerald wins hands down. He has been around aviation for a long time and has re-defined service and courtesy.

Definately agree with John and the girls at Air BP Cairns. Apart from their good looks (the girls I'm talking about) the service isnt half bad either.
Burnie and the boys at Shell Bankstown do a good job too.
Crappy at Kowanyama is always helpful on the unicom when calling inbound.

Have to agree that Rose at Leigh Creek is always there for you and the service has always been good. Prices are heaps cheaper than Broken Hill as well.
Also have to say that the service provided by Liz at Flight Facilities @ Coolangatta is hard to beat. Always comes to greet you as you park and that smile is to die for.
Sorry have nothing good to say about Mobil/BP @ Moorabbin, Shell is ok though .

The Guy at Marrocydore has to be the most miserable, rude and unhelpful person ever i have had the task of dealing with.
To Boot theres a $50 call out fee even though theres a carnet there!!!??
Air BP at TL are great. Poor old Dick & Bernie at CS have to wear G strings to compete with The BP chicks.

What about Hammer in Tindal???
Please please put in that swipe card machine.
Have to agree with LC.
Shell dude in AS is happy to get any fuel.
kU used to be brilliant, haven't been there for a while but the Shell and BP dude used to nearly have a head on in front of your plane to get your fuel.
But ya can't beat that 44 drum of Avgas happily supplied by a publican in the back of a ute.....

Gotta agree Emerald is great,
Bathurst Mobil and BP was always friendly and good for a lift into town and a cuppa,
The Mobil guys at Kununurra were great, dont know if they are still there though, shame if they arent
Towoomba aeroclub were always pretty helpful
and those masters of the inevitable bad joke and a great smile Marty and Shane from Darwin
Heres a beer (or three) to great customer service, thanks guys
