Does anybody know why the Ancona petrol station hasn't been selling diesel or petrol for the last couple of weeks in Dungarvan?

its prob on its way out!!!!

Be a major shame to see it close, there's a lot of guys working there, which is mad considering they have no 'shop' as such.

leased out afaik,
anyway it's belonging to his son Philip now, who is doing the tyres in the old texaco station.

Poor Uncle Tom

I never got fuel there apart from the odd bag of coal, but it is a shame to see any business go.

Still closed and I noticed 2 fuel pump service vans in there and guys working on the pumps this week - would make me wonder if they are such a brilliant garage?

i have seen pump service guys three days running, at a major dealership, so i would not take much notice of that.

Poor Uncle Tom

The garage seemed to be running fine when I passed today, more power to them.....:)

Tom,

Was there cars at the pumps getting fuel when you passed today or was it just people getting coal or briquettes?

Poor Uncle Tom

Actually, I'm not 100% sure, I just saw activity there, cars and people. I will be around again on Tuesday I'll take a closer look.

Came past at about 4PM and looked and saw the sign outside saying that they weren't selling petrol.

eirator

Anyone got any news? Past by not an hour ago and the place was empty, pumps still off and I couldn't see any other "fuel" anywhere.

wereinIreland

Still no petrol or diesel. I can't imagine how they are still able to stay in business. No one still has any idea why they are not selling petrol or diesel?

They are definitely the cheapest for gas and probably coal but I won't buy gas bottles that are refilled by some back street place with no seals, it was extra for a sealed bottle last time I asked and even then the calor bottles didn't have genuine calor seals. The price difference was between the cheap refills and the genuine bottles is quite a lot (over a fiver) but as I keep a few full bottles in store I prefer the genuine article.

Just passed Ancona, open for motor fuel. Diesel is 151.9, didn't notice the petrol.
One thing I noticed when they were closed was that the price of Petrol and Diesel in Dungarvan. It was always cheaper than Waterford City but when Ancona closed the opposite happened, Waterford prices were cheaper.
Just noticed that Coolagh garage has brought their price down from 154.9 to 152.9 for diesel, could be just a coincidence.

Looks like the started selling it yesterday. I'm still curious why they didnt sell any for 6 months.

What I heard was the license elapsed and when the reapplied there were some conditions which had to be addressed.

Open since Thursday, delighted for them to be honest.

The extra cents saved on a tank is a lot for some people, especially on the run up to christmas.

Glad all the staff are still there!

Are they even selling petrol?

Not what it says currently at pumps.ie which is why I asked but that could have been wrong for months (or longer).

Roanmore

It's listed on pumps.ie as Independent Sexton Street, 151.9 diesel, 152.9 petrol (which is incorrect, it's 154.9).

That's strange, I was jogging past there tonight and they are definitely selling Petrol.
Also the diesel has gone down one cent to 150.9

Sarcor

Just in there today back up and running for petrol/diesel as well as coal etc. Prices as usually lowest in Dungarva

Went in Sat afternoon to get some coal and there was a sign outside saying "Promotion cancelled by Gardai at 3pm". Anybody any idea what that was about, I only saw it as I was leaving so I didn't get a chance to ask.

99c a litre for petrol/diesel for a few hours on Sunday. I would imagine the traffic would have been chaos.

lertsnim

They should have put cancelled because of poor planning on the sign. The traffic was supposed to be mental

poor planning??? what were the owners supposed to do? Have the promotion in the middle of the night??

lertsnim

Not have it at all. It is all too easy for traffic jams in that area.

waterford

Closed again?
As I passed this morning customs all over the Shop
Had entrances blocked off with their cars

Steveo08
