I just can tell about me and I mean benzine.
As I ride motorcycles I don't know anything about diesel

So, Something new about Diesel shortage in Uzb?
RR.

The topic has been about gasoline/petrol (benzin).
Uzbekistan has moved to natural gas some years ago, and it is increasingly difficult to find the liquid fuel that our motorbikes like to drink. Not impossible, but you have to be careful or you can find yourself stranded. Don't expect roadside stands every few miles.

Yes, I know, I've already drive across Uzb in 2015 and I need to know if the diesel situation is the same, worse or better.
RR.

In 2016 the diesel situation was more or less the same. We got our last tank before Kaz at black market price in a small petrol station in Nukus (we asked around at various fuel stations that were only selling gas).

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

I've read (from a french traveller) that in spring 2016 diesel was avalaible at Gas Station :scooter: between Boukhara and Tashkent:D (not Khiva)
Have you heard Something like that?
RR.

East of Bukhara it's no problem.

Thanks Ibendel:thumbup1:

So if someone was doing the route (I'm sure it's a favourite) Dushanbe - Samarkand - Bukhara - Khiva - Nukus - Beyneu - Aktau what sort of tank range would you expect to need, and how likely would you be to find petrol/gasoline in those major towns?

As mentioned above, you will find petrol/benzine, but mostly on the black market.
Watch out for plastic bottles beside the street, they sell benzin.

Only up north after Nukus you need more than 500km of range, because there is no benzin on the way to Beyneu anymore.

I have done the route the other way 2017

Hi
I will be coming from Turkmenistan to Bukhara, on to Samarkand and then Kudzund and across the border into Tajik.
Are these days doable bearing in mind the state of the roads? Also should i be bring petrol with me from Turkmenistan?
I will have a couple of days in both Bukhara and Samarkand to hunt around for petrol.

And does anyone know of a good motorcyle mechanic in Samarkand?

Just look for something like that:

Hi I plan to traverse Uzbekistan in a couple of weeks, crossing the border at Beyneu and head towards Nukus fm there. I just read that this will be the hardest stretch considering fuel. My motorbike needs a top up every 300 km so I can't make this in one go.

Would it be possible to buy Jerry cans in Kazakhstan and take them across the border? Is there a limit in terms of fuel one can take across the border?
