OK, there must be hundereds of people on here going to the rally this weekend.

I have been going for the last 12 years but this is the first time in my scoob. Now there are obviously petrol stations in wales, but beacause i have never needed to use SUL before i never noticed where it was sold.

Am i worrying for nothing or is there a possibilty that i will have to use ordinary unleaded if i dont get my fuel stops right?

cheers

Chris

Cool

Good question CELL

Does anyone know if there's a petrol station in or around the Llandovery area that does SUL?

Sal.

If you can find it theres a petrol station that sells SUL by the BBC studios in the Landaff area, approx. 10 mins drive from cardiff town.Head toward the studio then its just before the roundabout. Sorry thats as best as i can do. However this one is pretty expensive.

BP SUL sites

M4 JCT.47
M4 JCT.49
Avondale road - CWMBRAN
Dyffryn Ardudwy
Ponterwyd - Aberystwyth

Very rare, if any around Llandovery - possibly Builth wells.
Neath should be OK - not sure where though ?

Cheers

For the memory bank, or print and carry, I'd add the following notes to CW's list...

[in sq brackets]

SHELL, Shell Gorlas SA14 7LW
Llandeilo Road, LLANELLI (29.6km)
[ a bit out of the way but may be convenient for those going Llandovery way. From the north (llandeilo way), take the A 476 toward Cross Hands, garage is almost at the junction with the A48. From the South, at the end of the M4, carrry on to Cross Hands and take the A476 towards Llaneilo.]

SHELL, Shell Swansea Bay
Fabian Way, NEATH (3.5km)
[major roadworks on Fabian Way (A483) into Swansea, last resort, particularly at rush-hours. Better off going to the Afan Way, Mile End Row, J47 or Morriston stations]

SHELL, Afan Way Service Sta...
Afan Way, PORT TALBOT (8.1km)
[reasonably convenient, come off m4 at J41 follow signs for Aberavon, Afan Way is left at second roundabout after the long j41 sliproad]

BP, Swansea Motorway Services
M4 J47, SWANSEA (10.3km)
[next junction along from Rally service, ideal if your popping to the rally service - 24 hours]

ESSO, Mile End Service Station
Mile End Row, NEATH (2.6km)
[not the easiest to find. If you're lost, ask directions for Neath Hospital or follow the "H" signs, garage is about a mile north of hospital]

ESSO, Morriston Service Sta...
Samlet Road, SWANSEA (4.3km)
[very convenient, Junction 45, head south, pass first juction, off and left at next junction, ASDA on left, garage is just over next roundabout - 24 hours]
