Magadan Regional Hospital Emergency Generator Fuel Depot

This emergency fuel depot behind Magadan Regional Hospital keeps diesel reserves for the hospital’s backup generators, but local staff have historically allowed overlanders to purchase fuel during emergencies or severe shortages. The depot maintains around 5,000 liters of diesel and heating oil, with hand-pump access available. Staff speak minimal English but are generally helpful to stranded travelers.

Access requires driving through the hospital’s service entrance on the north side of the complex. Payment is cash-only in rubles, and availability depends entirely on current stock levels and staff discretion. Best used as absolute last resort when commercial stations are closed or empty.
