JAKARTA - Pertamina Regional Marketing Director Patra Niaga Mars Ega Logowo Putra appealed to the public to fill up fuel and full tanks before traveling back and forth to their hometowns.

This is intended to prevent queues at gas stations in the homecoming lane during the Eid al-Fitr 1444 H period.

"We urge people who use vehicles to fill up full tanks before leaving, especially four-wheeled vehicles so that they no longer do reflueling along the road," said Mars, quoted on Tuesday, April 11.

Mars said it would also prepare special signs for nearby gas stations along the homecoming route with a radius of 500 meters to 1 km before the gas station.

"Pertamina will also prepare CCTV which is connected to the command center so that we can see which areas are piled up," continued Mars Ega.

Mars said Pertamina alerted 114 fuel terminals, 7,491 gas stations with 1500 gas stations that will operate for 24 hours.

Pertamina also added a motorist fleet from the previous 290 to 390 motorists.

"This is the most so far we have only been in the 290s, this year we have added 100 more," said Mars.

The addition of this fleet is intended to help travelers who run out of fuel while traveling.

In addition, his party has prepared 201 points that provide pocket gas stations. Bag gas stations are tank cars provided outside the gas station.

"This means that the tank car is already on standby at 200 points around Java and parts of South Sumatra. Hopefully, it can speed up supply to gas stations if there is a surge in demand at certain gas stations," concluded Mars Ega.
