Pumps dry after refinery slowdown FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) _ At least one Fairbanks area gasoline station was temporarily shut down this week after an operations slowdown at Flint Hills Resources' North Pole refinery. Pumps at the Riverview Quick Stop were closed Wednesday morning after tanks of unleaded gas ran empty. Station manager Lois Hein says supplies had run dry, and she was told the slowdown was cutting off smaller stations like the Badger Road business. Hein says she called two fuel suppliers, and learned they couldn't deliver because they weren't getting a supply from the refinery. Jeff Cook, a spokesman for Flint Hills Resources Alaska, says the refinery is running, but is experiencing operational problems that affect gasoline production. Cook says the refinery is working on resolving those issues, and, in the interim, is trying to meet customer needs. |
