Petro-Canada pumps running dry in Winnipeg

CALGARY – Some Petro-Canada stations are running out of gasoline in Winnipeg because of repairs taking place at a refinery in Edmonton.
In a post on its Pump Talk blog, Petro-Canada says supplies are being squeezed in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Gasoline-producing units at the Edmonton refinery were supposed to keep running during a period of planned maintenance work.
But during routine inspections, Petro-Canada discovered that repairs needed to be done and the gasoline units were taken out of service temporarily.
Petro-Canada says it’s bringing in additional gasoline from elsewhere and working to make sure customers have alternative places to gas up.
Petro-Canada gas stations and refineries are owned by energy giant Suncor Energy Inc.
