Amrum’s Only Petrol Pump Shuts for Up to Eight Days for Tank Repairs

Diesel service continues during scheduled welding on the petrol tank.

Overview

  • Petrol sales on the North Frisian island were suspended today at the sole station following advance notice from Versorgungsbetriebe Amrum.
  • The utility said a specialist firm from Hannover is welding the tank’s dom shaft through at most Tuesday, 9 September.
  • Normal petrol service is expected to resume Wednesday next week, with the operator noting the work could finish earlier.
  • The diesel pump remains available throughout the repairs, supporting local businesses and bus operations.
  • Residents largely prepared by topping up or keeping small reserves, and a full tank typically lasts about a week on the island, according to the utility.
