UK to GUINEA BISSAU - Diesel Availability?
 
My route will be something like:
Google MAP
MARROCO: CASABLANCA > MARRAKESH > AGADIR
COAST OF WESTERN SAHARA
COAST OF MAURITANIA
SENEGAL: TAMBACOUNDA > VELINGARA > KOLDA
GUINEA-BISSAU

Hello!

I'm planning to do this trip in July, and I'm now looking for a HILUX 4x4 Diesel for that.

What's the diesel availability on those areas?
Should I be concerned? Or Diesel will be fine?

Thanks!

No need for concern. Anywhere there's a main road there is fuel, but worth keeping a spare jerry full of fuel once you get to WS in case a place runs out.

Down to as far as Senegal, the only really long stretches were through northern Mauritania. There's fuel at Motel Barbas which is in Western Sahara 80km north of the Mauri border, then between there and Nouakchott there's only three stations, one of which only sells diesel (no petrol).

Cool. Thanks man.
Now other question is:
If I stick with the main roads, should I worry about planning where I'll fill up my tank or it will be fine,
if I refuel almost every time I see a station?

I know Chris said that where there is a main road there is fuel, so...

Several new petrol stations and restaurants along the highway through Mauretania, no need to worry about fuel anymore.

There's also a filling station at the border post (Moroccan side).
