Bennyboy320 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks, I know what the ERS says, never been the most up to date document around, it’s just that someone mentioned on Ozrunways a self serve bowser with CC option, as I was planning to be there on a weekend I’d like another definite yes before I decide wether not not to bypass YGDI, not keen on forking out $100 for a callout fee.

Clintdickenson Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 As an alternative if it is close to your flightplan could be Chinchilla. Good runway and readonably cheap fuel certainly compared to Bundaberg.. just flew my FMJ Bendigo Bundy Bendigo... i refueled there both ways..$2.14 a couple of weeks ago if i recall.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Camel . Not sure why you gave a ‘caution’ . I posted a part of ERSA entry for general info. but mainly for telephone No’s ..... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 always...always ring ahead and get "first hand updates" etc. Especially out of the way places. Trust ERSA at your peril, and i know. ( victim ) While i'm on it, carry a cheque book, if bowser swipe is down, refuellers usually will come at no expense and bypass system to fuel you, you pay cheque.

Chocolate Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 you need a Lowes card. Not difficult to get one. Just phone them. good to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyboy320 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 The reason I asked was I have a lack of faith in someone that charges $20 callout fee for doing their job during business hours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRviator Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Camel . Not sure why you gave a ‘caution’ . If he's anything like me, he's done it inadvertently using an ipad and trying to scroll down. The 'Caution' is bloody easy to tap by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 well the office is good to deal with for getting a card. i have always been given a lift to and from town by motels and there are good pub bistros so i dont mind stopping there. i did get caught with inverell recently. it was the long weekend so they went away. (!) so glad i phoned beforehand especially as it is so far from town and so bloody cold at this time of year. goondi is quite interesting as i sometimes see the rfds there from roma for a run and circuits. i left roma same time as them and they were there in a wink and i got there more than an hour and a half later to find them doing circuits. after my five mile call i think they got in three circuits! .. a bit of a laugh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
