I'm currently in Bar, Montenegro heading south towards Corfu. The advertised fuel station in the marina is closed and there's no tanker service. I have more than enough fuel to get to Durres where I planned to check-in to Albania but they've no fuel station there and getting tanker delivery sounds complicated and expensive - apparently you have to pay for the fire brigade to be on standby during fueling plus they charge for the tanker.
So my question. Does anyone know other ports south of Bar in either Montenegro or Albania with an actual fuel station or a normal tanker service?
 
Getting fuel in Albania is a pain; I couldn't find any for love or money, I ended up running out in Himare and paying a kid on a scooter €50 to fill up some jerry cans from the local service station...I was relieved he actually came back.

I eventually filled up in Orikum marina near Vlore on my way south. I called a day before and they ordered it by truck. It was €1.92 per litre and I'm certain the clock on the truck was reading as much as 10% over what I actually got.
