Geraldton Servo Launches Dual Pour Bowsers: Fuel & Bourbon From The Same Nozzle

Geraldton, WA — In a bold, deeply concerning step forward in regional innovation, a local service station has unveiled the world’s first integrated alcohol and fuel bowsers, allowing motorists to fill up both their tank and their flask in one stop.

The system — dubbed the Dual Pour Initiative™ — was launched this week at a Bluff Point servo after local inventor and part-time ideas bloke Kev “Squirt” Truscott had a vision while watching the pub's postmix gun operate.

“I was at the pub,” Kev recalls, “watchin’ old mate flick between cola and lemonade, and I thought — imagine if that was unleaded and Bundy. Just one nozzle, no drama. What are we doin’ messin around with all these new bottle shops when we’ve already got the infrastructure?”

Fuel for the Car, Rum for the Soul

The modified bowsers now offer 91 Unleaded, 95 Premium, 98 Ultra Premium, and Kentucky Bourbon — all selectable from the same nozzle. Customers can switch between fuel and booze mid-fill, a feature Kev says is absolute perfection.

“If you’re tight on coin,” Kev explains, “you can start on bourbon, flick back to 91 for a few litres, then back to rum for the last splash. Treat yourself but stay on budget.

Also works both ways — if you want to give the Hilux a bit of extra go, you know what I’m saying. She hums on Bundy.”

Council Applauds, WHO Screams Into a Pillow

The City of Greater Geraldton has offered full support, with one councillor calling it a “fusion of regional efficiency and innovation.”

“This is what Geraldton does best,” the spokesperson added. “We see a problem — in this case, the gap between bottle-o and servo — and we solve it with plumbing.”

Not everyone is on board. The World Health Organisation has labelled the initiative “the most dangerous idea to come out of Geraldton since at least mid last week.”

They cited serious concerns about cross-contamination, public drunkenness, and “the deeply misguided signage advising people not to drink directly from the bowser.”

Premium Dark Rum Now Available — But Not For Mouth-Breathers

To cater for the more sophisticated rum drinkers among us, the servo has installed a dedicated Kraken/Diesel Hybrid Nozzle.

The move was made to avoid cross-contamination with bourbon drinkers, “who,” according to management, “absolutely cannot be trusted not to drink directly from the nozzle, no matter how many laminated signs we put up.”

• ✅ A stainless steel tap
• ✅ A built-in drip tray
• ✅ A polite but firm plaque that reads: “Please decant into flask. This is a gentleman’s rum.”

Staff advise that drinking directly from this bowser may result in immediate ejection from the premises.

Kev is reportedly working on an upgrade that lets you pre-select mixed drinks, including Bundy & Cola and “Super E10 with a splash of Fireball.”

He’s also petitioning the council for a drive-thru ice machine, and a “responsible drinking zone” on the verge with beanbags.
