Nope. Caltex Omahu Rd Hastings or Caltex Gloucester St Taradale are closest. Then Mobil in Taihape. As long as you fill first, shouldn't be a problem. The gravel sections can be rather rough at times with lots of drift gravel and corrugations

A lot of trucks on that road make the surface not so flash.
