Several petrol stations around Auckland have run out of certain grades of fuel. Fuel demand in parts of the country is being pushed to the limit due to the Refinery to Auckland fuel pipeline operating at below maximum capacity. Some stations which have run out include Z in Glen Eden, Royal Heights Mobil, and Gull in Birkenhead. A customer told the Herald today he went to fill up at the Mobil in Royal Heights but they were out of 91. in September, a leak was discovered in the 170km pipeline which connects the refiniery at Marsden Point to Auckland.
