No petrol in the Gambia
 

Just a little warning to those heading this way. There is no petrol in the country. The stuff that is sold at exhorbitant prices, after much searching, is mixed with oil!

One piece of good news it is very cheap to have work done here and the place is full of VW Transporter spares.

Good luck in your travels.

Hello,

concerning fuel (diesel). A few months ago we went to Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia. Fuel (petrol and diesel) was no problem in that time. But a more serious problem is the quality of the diesel. Al of the diesel-engines suffered from the trip : loss of power, black smoke. I think too much water in the diesel and poor quality.
Can be a thought for those going for a longer period.

Happy low sulpher travels,

Karel
