The availability of petrol pumps on the 475 km long Manali-Leh highway is always a cause of concern for motorists. There are not many fuel stations on the Manali-Leh highway and that is why motorists have to carry extra fuel in a jerrycan. Some innovative folks also use the 2 ltr Coke or Pepsi bottle to carry fuel. Manali has a couple of petrol pumps. Once you leave Manali, the next petrol pump on Manali – Leh highway is at Tandi, approximately 110 km from Manali. Tandi is believed to be the last petrol pump before Leh. So the distance a motorist has to traverse without finding a petrol pump is roughly 365 km. One needs to consider the terrain and road condition to ascertain the mileage of a vehicle.
