The Flying J hasn’t reopened its Bakersfield, CA, refinery after a planned 10-day shutdown, more bad news for the truck stop giant already plagued with expensive debts to creditors and business partners.
The Ogden, Utah-based diesel retailer filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late December. In early January, company officials announced that the Flying J-owned Big West refinery in Bakersfield, CA, wouldn’t operate for 10 days for maintenance.

Having read other posts about Flying J's being out of fuel, I'd never seen my local Flying J out of fuel... until tonight. I wonder if the above has anything to do with this?

According to their website there are two sites in Illinois that are out of Bio-diesel but no others are showing any supply shortages.

Flying J ‘winding down’ Big West refinery operations

Quote:

The Flying J on Wednesday officially termed its shutdown of its Big West refinery in California a “suspension,” also indicating the company is preparing to shut down permanently the 70,000-barrel-a-day plant.
In a statement released Wednesday, a Big West official said the company is preparing to talk to the local union about the future of its Bakersfield, CA, refinery. Big West is a subsidiary of the Flying J, which filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in December.
“For now, we will be winding down refining operations at the facility as we continue to explore opportunities,” said Fred Greener, Big West executive vice president. “We hope that this suspension will be short-lived, and are working very hard to find a solution that will allow resumption of operations. However, at this time, we cannot predict when that might occur.”
