More supply problems are cropping up, with word coming this afternoon that BP/Amoco lost a stringer pipe, that brings product out of the well, at its Windsor, Ontario complex. Repairs are underway, but the affected cavern along with a companion cavern are both shut down with no truck or rail loading expected until early next week at either Windsor or Green Springs. Meanwhile, BP/Amoco has instituted an allocation that will allow for customers to pull only 70% of contract volumes through the month of February, retroactive to February 1, sources said. In other areas, reports are that the Lima, Ohio propane loading rack is also down after power outages in the area. Further east, Texaco has suspended propane loading at the Delaware City complex due to extremely low inventories, and Sun in Philadelphia has been restricting loading hours.

Thanks for the report John, now if we could only get an adequate answer for this huge rash of petroleum product supply problems other than "its cold outside".

In the Pacific NorthWest the cold snap seems to have ended and we're back to balmy days like that nice sunny peculiar December.

Thanks to all who are tracking these fuel foul-ups.

Southeast is warming up again. Monday temp in the mid 50s. Today in the upper 40s. Tomorrow in the 60s. Thursday and Friday in the 50s. Normal high for February, upper 40s. No know shortages of petroleum products. Prices are up, of course.
