If you’re looking for fuel in Bakersfield, Ca, over the weekend, don’t look at the Flying J.

The Flying J website currently lists the Bakersfield, California, location as “out” of fuel. But in reality, they are digging up the fuel islands to comply with the ever-changing California laws.

The truck stop has a wide area around the fuel islands that is roped off with cones and caution tape, but truckers have been knocking the cones down and heading up to the fuel islands for easy parking. The entrance to the truck stop is extremely cramped when the cones and caution tape are set up.

The manager at the Flying J says the pumps should be up and running on Monday, July 17. Anyone needing to fuel there would be wise to call ahead and check, however. The number is 661-392-5300. Or you can check online at www.flyingj.com.

Gasoline and RV islands are not included in the construction. RVs will not be able to purchase diesel until the construction is completed.
