Mind you, the overtime that Keyfuels must be paying to sit up past midnight and search through all of the old posts (2004!!) and resurect them with a quick bit of ‘advertising’, must be good!!

When I was on for Midlands Storage in the 60s we were only allowed to fill up at other TDG members places and later TA also. Plenty of those you might think, but how many hauliers have their depots bang on the main routes? Storage’s place alone would involve a 30 minute detour round country lanes for visiting drivers. The one exception to this was Joplin and Penty, a BP garage I think, opposite the Quernhow Cafe on the A1. You always got a free cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit in the office while the man filled you up!!
The downside for these firms was that was where we got our chains and stretchers (see another thread ) from, a quick fiver to the yard man, a quick rattle of chains and off you go , Storage didn’t supply us with such sophisticated equipment but as backloading steel was so easy (we always found our own backloads) it was in our interest to have them.
Later on I worked a powder tanker for K&M Hauliers on a 24 hour rota out of Rugby cement. As the day driver I always filled up at a BP or Shell station (forget which) near Rugby before heading north to change over. They gave out glasses to the motorists and I was filling up the cab with boxes of the stuff each night until they stopped it without warning for the wagons. I kicked up a hellover stink pointing out how much fuel I was putting in two tanks five times a week and they relented. Didn’t know what to do with all those flaming glasses though, but it was a point of principle
My local company, Gauthiers, here in France gave us AS24 cards for derv and ‘fioul’ (red diesel) for the fridges. Fair enough, there is a fair spread here and we never filled up in Blighty, but we were also given a list of the ones not to use. Apparently the price varies and some were too much .

Keyfuels are very innovative aren’t they?
means nothing to me i use a shell card
taken from there site
With access to approximately 12,000 Shell service stations and with additional partner sites in each country, you can be sure that your drivers will find a Shell refuelling site on all major national or international transport routes
From my own experience, Keyfuels come way down the list of good fuelcards/companies. Personally I think there service is pretty poor and they aren’t even that competitive on price.
Is it just me or does anyone else think this guy has an ‘unhealthy’ interest in Keyfuels. I find myself wondering if he keeps a big box of Kleenex next to his PC for when he sees a mention of Keyfuels (■■■■, that’s twice I might have set him off in this one post ) or visits their site.
You also have to wonder if the pages in his Keyfuels (■■■■ 3 times now) Site Directory open as easily as they should.
Ben1:
You can even download a Keyfuels site overlay from this website: www.keyfuelsdriver.net
Right, “Ben”, if that is your name. Let’s get this straight.
I’m travelling down the M4 then A34 to Fareham. I don’t have enough fuel to get back to Bristol. I try every services I find up to half-way down the A34, and none of them take Keyfuels. So, I decide to follow your spamming, and ring up a friend (since, surprisingly enough, I don’t have an internet terminal in the cab) and get him to go onto www.keyfuelsdriver.net to look up a location for me.
You know what?
THE [ZB] SITE IS DOWN.
You come on here resurrecting year-old threads spamming us with this [zb] about how fabulous keyfuels are, and yet the website itself doesn’t even work!
Well, IME they’re a pile of [zb]. I’ve had proper keyfuels stations refuse the card because they haven’t had a delivery. I’ve spent stupid amounts of time trying to find a station that will take it. And the idiot that they’re getting to spam these lists (I’m assuming you work for keyfuels) hasn’t even made sure that the thing he’s advertising is actually working.
I ended up diverting across the A303 to Basingstoke so that I could use Winchester MSA.
Want to provide a properly useful service? How about a phone number that’s manned 24/7 so that you can call them to find a station on your route? A website is [zb] all use if you don’t have a clue where you’re going until you arrive in the transport office at the start of the shift.
Mods: can I suggest that Ben1 is banned from posting, as he is obviously just using TNUK for advertising keyfuels.

There was something I saw that you could text a number and it would send you info on the nearest keyfuels suppliers. Its on a similar thread around here somewhere… One I’ve been involved in.
I don’t have any say where the company gets its fuel account from, but I sure as [zb] wish it was something easier like Shell or BP!!!
Last time I went afar I did a print out from their site and from Multimap the day before, only to find when I got there I was only stopping for a shortwhile before moving on. However. Morrisons take keyfuels. The nuicance is that 1, they usually don’t height sign their canopy and 2, its low. I think it’s 12 foot
I managed to squeeze in, but had to reverse out…
If it makes you feel better we can have a group hug?? Nah, didn’t think so
I got caught out at Lyme last week, had two key fuels cards and neither worked…turned out they stopped accepting them. It seems most of the Texaco stations in Manchester area also no longer take them as they are alleged to be poor payers. Ended up putting £50 worth at Hartshead Moor to get back.
However they have a web site with a locater system and their "Driver’s club, "where you can get nearest sites if you use yr mobile to text your location.
Not very impressed with key fuels their booklet is a pain to follow with no logic, poor maps, and as already pointed out by many, never up to date.
Our boss thinks their prices are best, but the 1p a litre he saves we lose running 40 miles out of the way to fill up
Tibshelf MSA takes them but do you want to queue for and hour to fill up?
We have suggested BP but he won’t change until one of us runs one out of fuel, and that will cost a few hundred to sort out…penny wise pound foolish!
Yeah, I used the html page database to find a place last night but then worked out if i dropped the speed so the revs were in the middle of the green i’d get home
But the html page is a bit useless. They class “Birmingham” as “Birmingham” “Brum” “West Mids” West Midlands".
It would be so much easier to stick this into a CSV database type file and sort the entries out this way
Have to see what I can dig up. If anyone has a reasonably up to date version in CSV could they either PM it to me, or PM me or let me know the link online??
