    24hour Gas stations on the way to Northern BC?

    Hey everyone

    Been a while since I've made the drive up into Northern BC. Are there any issues with fuel stops when driving through the night North of Prince George on the way to Fort Nelson?

    Vehicle we are taking has an expected range of 480km ish and no convenient way to pack extra fuel.

    We plan on doing the drive straight without stopping so 24hr service stations are a must.

    Thanks for the info..

    I see there are a variety of Smith Fuel Services Cardlocks on the way to Ft Nelson.... Can anyone buy fuel at those Cardlocks with the invention of "pay at the pump" or does it need to be pre arranged dealio and only available to commercial trucks?

    I don't believe just anyone can use a card lock but I'd have to believe there is a 24 hour station in PG, Chetwynd, FSJ (Maybe Wonowon) and then obviously Fort Nelson.

    I do know there is not a 24 hr gas station in Fort Nelson. We got there just after 11 pm last year and had to sleep in the truck till 6 am before we could continue on. I would think you could find one in fsj though.

    Good question. We generally stop over in Chetwynd on our way up to Ft Nelson, but we're usually there before 8pm.
    There's 24 hour fuel in PG and John, so if Chetwynd has one you should be golden if Ft Nelson is your destination.

    Card locks require an account and special card.

    If you leave in the morning, you have to drive half of the road in the night with no fuel station open. However, if you leave in the night, you will reach Prince George in the early morning, then you have twelve hours daytime driving till your destination

    you can work the normal hours before leaving.

    We will be proceeding west of Ftor Nelson...so fuel there would also be needed.

    Our window depends on us leaving at 6am ....12hr drive to PG makes us there at 6pm.....if Ft Nelson doesnt have 24hr fuel then thats a real problem.
