National Fuel Availability Report: Current Supply Chain Status
Australia is currently experiencing intermittent fuel shortage issues across various regions, primarily driven by ongoing supply chain disruptions affecting fuel distribution networks. While logistical challenges and maintenance schedules at key refineries have contributed to these supply constraints, reports indicate that fuel distributors are actively working to restore normal stock levels. Motorists may encounter instances of petrol stations running dry in localized areas, and industry stakeholders are monitoring replenishment schedules closely to manage the flow of petrol and diesel to service stations nationwide.
New South Wales remains the most significantly impacted region, with a concentration of service stations currently experiencing stock limitations. To assist in efficient travel planning and to avoid unnecessary disruption, motorists are encouraged to utilise the FuelRadar real-time map to verify petrol availability at local stations before commencing their journey. As national logistics operations continue to address these supply chain disruptions, checking live data remains the most effective method for drivers to secure supply.
What to check
- The Australian Government has confirmed it is working closely with major fuel wholesalers and retailers to prioritise deliveries to regions most affected by supply chain disruptions.
- The ACCC continues to monitor the retail fuel market to ensure that the current supply constraints are not resulting in anti-competitive pricing practices or misleading conduct.
- Industry peak bodies have advised that while there are temporary logistical delays, Australia maintains sufficient national fuel reserves and stock levels are expected to stabilise as delivery schedules adjust.

What does "Running Dry" mean?
A station is flagged as "running dry" when its reported fuel price data becomes stale, shows placeholder values ($999.90), or the station is explicitly marked as inactive by data providers. This typically indicates the station has run out of one or more fuel types, though it can also reflect temporary reporting issues.
Why are stations running dry?
Availability can change because of delivery timing, temporary supply gaps, station maintenance, reporting delays, or strong local demand. Regional stations can be affected sooner because deliveries are less frequent and storage capacity varies by site.
