Air BP SPIN
No never used it as I have a BP card. Surprises me that you had to go through that. It could be that the bowser had just gone in and the software via internet was not running properly yet. Country towns out there have trouble getting it sometimes. Next time call flying fuels first at PF and check is all I can suggest. They are putting bowsers all over SA it appears. Now have one at Leigh Creek too.
The credit card Shell bowsers at YLEC have always operated flawlessly.
When did that change?
Probably about a year or so ago , time goes too fast. The old Shell bowser got shut down I believe the tank had a leak. With the mine closing too that was the end of it. There was no fuel there for sometime then zFlying Fuels at PF put a credit card bowser in along with others around the state. With PF slowly dying I don’t think it can carry two refuellers full time so the old Shell outlet now known as Flying Fuels diversified and supply a few country towns too. I don’t use them at PF myself as I have an account with BP.

My recollection is that when the first credit card bowsers were introduced at YLEC, they were Shell. AirBP doesn’t ‘do’ credit card bowsers - kinda one of the facts discussed in this thread.
Happy to stand corrected of course. As you say, DF will shed (authoritative) light on the subject.
PS added after reading DF’s. That confirms YLEC was never a BP credit card bowser. I will have to look at my CC statements for YLEC refuels to work out why I thought they were Shell bowsers.

YLEC has never been the same friendly place since Desert Flower was sent into (compulsory) retirement!
Think On Eyre and others would agree.
Miss ya Minties and fruitcake, don'tcha DF!

I found it amusing that the paper-pushers at the various oil majors often had no idea which sites they owned/operated from week to week. and it's still the case today.
Only that YLEC wasn't on Shell Aviation's list of sites when we started doing inspections for them back in 2004 (that's twenty years ago! yikes!!).. but then SAV never did have much of a presence in SA. Quite possibly because the SA regionals were owned (not just operated) by local agents as DF suggests?? Makes sense. I'd always wondered about that.

My understanding is that the ACCC approved a split up of the supply in regions to the different companies. That is still the case today. So in some states BP dominates, Shell in others, World Fuel Services in others and more widely independents.

Personally, I'll always choose one of the majors if I have a choice, but only because I know they do more QC checks than some of the others. Buyer beware.
