Fuel Fuel Outages - Live
267 petrol stations are reporting a fuel outage across Australia right now (of 6,641 stations tracked nationwide), updated 13 min ago. Pick a state below for the live breakdown.
Petrol stations reporting an out-of-stock signal to their state Government fuel-price feed. Right now the QLD, NSW, VIC and SA feeds carry that signal - QLD and SA stations flag it directly, we infer NSW from price staleness, and VIC's feed marks each fuel available or not (VIC is a daily feed, so its outages can be up to a day old). The WA, NT and TAS feeds don't report out-of-stock at all, so they're not on the tracker yet - their live prices are still fully covered on the map. We only count outages reported in the last 7 days, and stations drop off automatically once they restock.

How we detect outages
In the mandatory-reporting states every service station must submit live fuel prices to the state Government within 30 minutes of a change. Fuel Daddy reads those feeds directly - no crowdsourcing, no guesswork. Whether we can show outages depends on what each state's feed actually exposes.
Queensland: when a station runs out of a particular fuel it submits a placeholder price (well above any real pump price, around 999.9 c/L) instead of a real figure. Fuel Daddy detects the placeholder and lists the station plus the specific fuel here. As soon as the station restocks and submits a real price, it drops off on the next refresh.
New South Wales (incl. the ACT): the FuelCheck feed has no out-of-stock flag, so we infer it per fuel - when a fuel a station has been reporting goes stale while the station keeps updating its other fuels, we list it as out. This is a best-effort signal, not an official Government flag.
Victoria: the Servo Saver feed marks every fuel at a station as available or not, so we read the out-of-stock flag directly and list the exact fuels that are out. The VIC feed publishes on a roughly daily cycle, so an outage there can be up to a day old.
South Australia: the SAFPIS feed works like Queensland's - a station out of a fuel submits a placeholder price (around 999.9 c/L) instead of a real one, which we detect and list with the exact fuel. SA prices refresh roughly every 30 minutes, so SA outages are near-live.
WA, the NT & Tasmania: their Government feeds don't carry an out-of-stock signal - no placeholder prices, no availability flag, and (for the NT and TAS) no per-price timestamps to infer staleness from. So we can't reliably detect outages in these states yet and they're not on the tracker. Live pricing for all three is fully covered on the live price map.
Freshness: placeholders can linger in the raw Government feeds long after a station has restocked, so we only count an outage reported in the last 7 days. Each row shows how long ago it was last reported.
Fuel outage FAQ
How do you know a petrol station is out of fuel?
Stations are required to report a price for every fuel they offer. When a station runs out of a fuel it submits a placeholder price (well above any real pump price) instead of a real figure. Fuel Daddy reads those placeholders direct from the official state feeds, ignores stale entries older than 7 days, and lists the station here as currently out.
How often is the outage list updated?
Every 15 minutes, automatically, direct from the official Government fuel-price feeds. Outage detection works for Queensland, NSW, Victoria and South Australia, whose feeds expose an out-of-stock signal (VIC is a daily feed, so its outages can be up to a day old; QLD and SA are near-live); WA, NT and TAS feeds don't carry that signal yet, so they're not on the tracker. As soon as a station restocks and submits a real price, it disappears from this page on the next refresh cycle.
Is there a fuel shortage right now?
This page shows live single-station outages, not shortages. Individual stations run dry every day as deliveries arrive late or demand spikes. A widespread shortage usually shows up as dozens of stations in the same region going dark at once - check the regional grid above for that signal.
Why is a station showing every fuel as unavailable?
A station reporting placeholder values for every fuel type is usually closed for the day, between deliveries, or under maintenance. It is rarely a sign of a major shortage.
Can I rely on this data before I drive to a station?
Fuel Daddy shows the most recent data the state Government has, but stations can sell out between reporting intervals. Always have a backup station in mind if you're driving a long distance for a specific fuel - use the live map to find nearby alternatives.
Which states does the outage tracker cover?
Use the state toggle at the top of the page: Queensland, NSW (incl. the ACT), Victoria and South Australia, whose Government feeds expose an out-of-stock signal (VIC is a daily feed, so its outages can be up to a day old; QLD and SA are near-live). WA, NT and TAS feeds don't carry that signal yet - no placeholder prices, no availability flag, and for NT and TAS no per-price timestamps - so they're not on the tracker. Live pricing for every state is fully covered on the live price map.
