we import methane gass from Auckland mate
Its produced in vast amounts up there
only second to the amounts produced in the beehive

they dont produce methane in the behive, that would be making themselves usefull & we cant have that

Cheers DD, will do, and SDU, my rattler only gets 210 (commuting) to 230-240 (open road) before the light comes on (and even then it's only about 50 more kms before she's dry. Found that out).

Strange ay. Maybe at the factory, my bike was slipped a 17 litre tank instead of the 22 litre one by mistake !!!

I mean to say, Guzzi quality control back in the early 2000's wasn't the best......

I know it has mobil card and efpos , but cannot find the hours it is open or if it is 24/7, but for fleet card, it probably has a 24/7 deisel card pump for trucks

Murch is not 24 hour but as said you can get gas there with an eftpos card. St Arnaud closes at 6pm if I remember correctly but no idea of when it opens.

Cheers R

It has EFTPOS at pump.

Thank fuck or I'd have been rooted. I think I did three tanks of gas from CHCH to there and back. The Northerly was strong that day.

Thanks guys, sheet has been updated.

Still looking for 24hr station details in Amberley or Kaikoura, if anyone has them?

**nudemetalz** · 30th April 2009, 08:31

Great to hear I won't pushing a fully-laden Guzzi on the side of the road that's run out of petrol !!

Thanks so much for your help, peoples !!!

It's funny how one V11 is never the same as the other -another part off the Guzzi charm.
I've been empty at 260 relying on mates to get me fuel once & made 300 another day before fueling. My light comes on around 240 normally I like to fill at 280 to be sure.

Have a great ride & I hope the weather comes good for you.
