Oregon rules for pumping gasoline & covid-19

[NamMedevac_70]

What are the current rules in Oregon??? I have traveled extensively throughout the state and enjoyed their quick and friendly service in pumping my gas for me. It creates jobs especially for the young and in the rural areas I was allowed to pump my own gas if desired.

Some members on another smaller so called RV forum suffer from hyper high BP over this silly issue. Two in particular mjeltin and DanZ may have a HA over this. Cheers to the good guys

"Back in the day" you wouldn't be here....or sitting in an RV as nice as you have now.

On the news I see video of $5 plus gasoline out west in Cali, around here it has reached $2.79 for regular. We were at $1.89 for a while. We Alabamians are simple folks I guess, but we pump gas all by ourselves with no supervision!

First: It's only gas that falls under pumping regulations, not diesel. So most places will allow you to pump your own diesel, and many require you to so they don't get caught in the "you filled it with gas"

Second: Oregon passed a new regulation that outlines where self serve is allowed. basically smaller population counties and areas. you'll see signs that say "self serve" "self serve only" etc. Figure that most rural areas are likely self serve

Third: Oregon has occasionally relaxed the self serve for short periods of time, like during Covid, during the recent heat wave etc.

The COVID rules are opening up in OR. I would plan to have a mask to go in stores, but no need to put on a mask to hand the guy your CC for fuel. My last fill up in OR the guy did wash the back window of my SUV, didn't even ask him to. He did the guy in front of me also.

If you have a Diesel truck, you can and always have been able to fill your own tank. They look at Diesel different than regular gas. I typically fill my own if driving my truck.

Back in the day,is really back. I doubt that even 50% of the posters here remember "full service" stations.

The rules are still the same...Some rural stations are allowed to offer self serve.

The fire marshal allowed it statewide for a couple of days when we were hitting 115 degrees 9-10 days ago.
