Apataki Carenage Fuel (Apataki)

15° 33.5′ S · 146° 14.5′ W · approximate

The only fuel source for yachts on Apataki: the Carenage yard sells limited amounts of diesel and gasoline from its own stock.

Practical

Positioned at the yard (approximate). Reported: 'can provide fuel as needed' (Jacaranda, Sept 2016), at 156 XPF/l diesel and 159 XPF/l gasoline (2016; verify locally); 'may be able to sell you limited amounts' (Sugar Shack, Sept 2019); fuel listed among yard services (Sugar Shack 2019). Expect jerry-can delivery, not a fuel dock. Stock depends on the weekly Cobia supply ship, so email ahead (apatakicarenageservices@gmail.com) with quantities. Cooking-gas bottle transfer is also available at the yard; propane bottles are sold at Magasin Pahai in Niutahi.
