Status: offline 		Where does the fuel go from this place???

I followed Kull's suggestion and have some AKLx and patrol craft escorts based here and use it as a staging point for small supply convoys to other points in Canada and Alaska. NOT a whole lot of fuel being burned by ships. BUT fuel seems to vanish. I have two three convoys from Seattle and/or San Francisco, dump 30,000 or more fuel and two days later it is back under 10,000. Where is it going? It isn't going into fueling ships.

I'll look for the stockpile button for fuel. Supplies I see one, I'll need to poke around for fuel.

Fuel and Supply flow to the largest port (after local demands have been satisfied). You should have built PR up to max port level by now, but if you are not using fuel and supply (including shipping it out) at least twice a week it will tend to go to Vancouver or Seattle.

Fair points. I build up every North American base to max as soon as I can (for VP.) I also operate ASW out of Prince Rupert, so there's always at least a trickle of fuel usage. But a million fuel sitting there is normal. In my Lokasenna game, by late 1944 there was far more, plus about 13 million supply.

Status: offline 		I have never had any problem getting supply and fuel to Port Rupert. I do send the Canadian HQ there and that helps the supply movement.
I also send a some small xAKL and xAPs there with AM and KV escorts to get fuel to move there. Of course I do build it to the maximum
port and airfield.

Status: offline 		I found the stockpile button and the fuel is no longer going down (I'd been using the supply quantity slider for everywhere else, this was the first time I had a fuel problem).

Supply was never a problem. And I am building the place up, but didn't move a lot of engineers there.

I have a fairly stable front so I'm doing the June 1943 updates to everything so not a lot of fuel going there right now - most of the west coast tankers are in the shop.

You don't need all those Canadian BFs at all those Canadian bases if you are not supporting aircraft training there. I ship them all to PR to build the base, then decide where to send them afterwards. Some usually get reassigned to NorPac and to the Aleutians.

I usually deploy the Canadian base forces to the Canadian coast and to the USA.

Thank you.
I like house rule based on historical restraints.
