Admin Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Guys, I am going to look into getting a Recreational Flying Fuel Card with a discount soon if that is of any help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ian - that is only as helpful as a very helpful thing. I'll wait for your word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ok you've pushed me into it ;) - I have set up a poll in the Announcements/NOTAMS forum to gauge if there was enough interest in me organising discount fuel cards. If there is sufficient numbers then I will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcamp Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 With fuel cards you really need three - Shell, BP and Mobil. Not sure on what the rules are but I think they are supposed to be tied to an a/c; something to do with restrictions on leaded fuel. Best bet is a crowd that give you all three with one account. A discount setup would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcruffle Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I got mine (BP, Shell and Mobil) from SkyFuel in Sydney. No discount but very convenient and great to deal with. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetjr Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Aero refullers in Albury set me up with four cards, Shell, BP, Mobil and thier own brand. One monthly account, mostly use Mobil and credit card though. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselten Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Skyfuel, and if you're flying in the Hunter Valley at all, get the special Cessnock card from them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waraton Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hunting through old threads looking for suggestions on getting fuel cards, Many pumps accept Credit Card swipe....but not all. Drew a blank with anything recent so would appreciate some current feedback please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpacro Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Been happy with Aero Refuellers but they recently lost BP so I also now have a Skyfuels account. I use BP at my home field, Moorabbin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I had Shell years ago and then they stopped it unless you used thousands of litres per year. I think it is Skyfuel I have used or at least tried to use with Mastercard. That didn't work because Mastercard is dodgy. I have changed to Visa, which I am told will work, but not used it yet. The Mastercard left me twice at lonely airstrips unable to get fuel, luckily in both cases help was at hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a blank with anything recent so would appreciate some current feedback please. The trouble with these cards is they change so often. The cards themselves go in and out and the discount systems chop and change ( mostly stop, lately). I had an aerorefuelers SAAA card but I think all the discounts have now been removed from it. Don't even know if it is valid anywhere anymore. Shell cards are pretty much extinct now. Almost all ( if not all) of theirs accept standard credit and debit cards. Mobil still have some bowsers that run on their cards. I haven't used my BP card for years but it was an SAAA linked one and I think it's dead. I do lots of long tips and my SOP is to phone all the likely fuel places along the way and find out what their current set up is. Even the ERSA is often wrong about current state of the art. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Anson Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I have also found Skyfuel good to deal with. Home - Skyfuel I have just the BP and Mobil cards and they seem to be all that are needed. On a recent long trip I was able to use credit cards at about half the stops but had to have the Skyfuel cards at the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I could never understand why they wont work together like automotive cards. That is your card will work on all pumps but discount only on named card. Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I can't understand why all browsers don't take credit card also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas More and more servos up in my neck of the woods have signs saying " sorry but we do not accept xxx fuel cards" or similar. So I think that is a disappearing system as well. The only sensible way forward for everyone is convert them all over to normal credit and debit cards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
