Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
We run up north near that area in 3 trucks, each has a slip tank of 300L. Some fuel stops are unreliable, if you go cassian like bell 2.
Or at least some fuel as a backup
Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
iirc the Esso in Ft N is 24 hour, Toad closes at 9?ish
Chetwynd has 24 hr, take the Braydon cutoff, FSJ has 24hr
Having a PetroPass for cardlocks saves some grief
Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
AFD has public cardlocks at wonowon, buckinghorse, and Watson lk.

I phoned the esso in Ft Nelson and although the google machine says they are open 24hr...they say they are not.
And it turns out I dont have enough time to get a petro pass card...
Might have to catch a nap in ft nelson for a couple hours until they open

Excellent...thank you.
Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
480km range? Small tank or gas guzzler?
Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
If timing is critical, maybe drive an hour west to Tetsa , they open early, and have a good breakfast.
Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
this sounds like someone who has a serious case of sheep fever and the only remedy is to get to the hike in ASAP with no wasted time :smile:
one option is to call a small business that makes a few $$ on hunters passing through and pay to leave a few jerry cans full of gas for you (with a tip of course). The place at Tetsa might do it? Toad River?

What if you went through radium and ice field parkway? You might get to PG faster than 12 hrs. Not sure on the 24 hr fuel. You could also skip pg and go through Alberta.
Re: 24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?
24 hr in PG, and in Chetwynd, and in Ft St John. moosin
