Fuel / Water Libya to Niger

[petelewis]

Hi,

Can anyone give me an idea of water and fuel availability in crossing from Libya to Niger ?
I have read the reports on SO and have picked up that fuel is limited on the Libya side after Zuweila (?), then is available at Dirkou on the Niger side. Is there anything inbetween ?
What about the water situation ? I would guess it is better than fuel ?

We'll be travelling in a Bedford truck, so will need a lot of both water and fuel. At present I have fuel enough for 900 mile range, and am thinking on water for 4 days (trying to make sense of the recent discussions of water needed in the desert !!).

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Pete
