Terminal manager says some gas types seeing shortages

(Don Haney/KFGO) WEST Fargo, N.D. (AP) Tanker trucks are lined up at a West Fargo pipeline terminal waiting to buy wholesale fuel.

Magellan terminal manager Mark Haugen says there are some spot shortages of certain types of gasoline in the region.

Haugen says it's a matter of supply and demand. The pipeline gets gasoline from refineries in the Twin cities and as far away as Kansas and other states.

He says the product is out there but getting it has been a problem.

Haugen says a similar shortage happened last year at this time.

He says the company has had similar problems at other tank farms, including the one in Grand Forks.
