Petrol ava
Hi All,
I know it is a long time still (3-4mths time), but this will make the difference whether I have company on my drive up to Kenya from South Africa or not. And whether the other party need to make alternative plans. Along time has passed since the Unleaded/Leaded fuel conversations in Africa on various. And as most petrol vehicles now use unleaded, the following question must be asked. Do they still make Leaded fuels? Can a Fortuner 4.0l Petrol get the necessary fuel (unleaded) in the following countries: Zambia Mozambique (Biera and above) Malawi Tanzania Kenya Thanks gregg |

Hi Gregg,
Petrol is available in all of those countries, but availability outside major centres is very unreliable. As far as I know, the Fortuner will run on leaded fuel if necessary. Personally, I far prefer diesel as it is much more freely available. I haven't paid particular attention to specific petrol availability though. I don't know which route you are planning to take, but I would be inclined to take enough spare fuel for at least 400km to 600km because you might arrive at a place that usually has fuel, only to find that they've run out. Take every opportunity to fill up, even if you've still got plenty in the tank.
