KAMLOOPS — UPDATE (1:45 p.m.): CFJC Today received this statement from a spokesperson for Suncor Energy:

We are experiencing a temporary system disruption at the Suncor Kamloops terminal. As a result, there may be temporary fuel outages at some regional retail and commercial stations. We’re working hard to resolve the issue and replenish fuel at any impacted Petro-Canada sites, including sourcing alternate supply. We apologize for any inconvenience.

EARLIER: Drivers in Kamloops are being encouraged to conserve fuel in their vehicles.

In a post to social media Friday (Jan. 19) morning, Tk’emlups te Secwepemc says the Suncor fuel terminal in Kamloops has been unable to dispense fuel since Wednesday. The 36-hour outage has led to fuel shortages in the city, include the Tk’emlups Petro-Canada.

“We are diligently working on sourcing out fuel from other terminals within the province,” Tk’emlups states. “We received a fuel delivery from Prince George terminal today… therefore we will have fuel for today. Unfortunately, supreme gasoline is not available in this delivery.”
