Present construction of the three bridges in Brunei involves a lot of foreign flagged support boats etc, which all need diesel and which take petrol etc to the water-based construction sites.
They normally have all the fuel from that riverine filling station pre-booked. And because they are foreign flagged the filling station is charging the international price. It is still possible to get diesel from vehicle filling stations. Contact us for details.
