Many thanks for the info Chris and Kevin. Will do some hard thinking over next few days :-) Can you get Alg and Niger visas in Burkina or would we have to get them before leaving home? Do you need a carnet? Also, what is the longest stage between fuel stops on the Niger Alg route. Thank you for the offer of derv Chris but we still run our ambulance tank :-) on a V8. We can carry 300 litres petrol + a once only reserve of 90 litres lpg. Road mpg is about 12. and I have been assuming about 7-8mpg (2.5 km/l ) off road so the range, excluding reserve, would be about 750 km. Tyres will be Michelin XCL's, same tread as XL's. Not the best choice for the desert but I had a new set and thought that they may be useful in WA in the rainy season.
