Lovely Northamptonshire again!

can someone tell me roughly what this is, I can't find a local petrol station that does it (don't laugh, local one at my last place sold red diesel to canal boat people etc) and I think local farmer is ripping me off at £1 a litre...!
am i totally wrong? thankyou!
 
I think you are being ripped off. Not entirely shore but i think i heard someone say it was about 40p.
(Someone correct me if i'm wrong please

Cant remember exactly but £1 a litre sounds high. Do you have a boat yard near you? Or a heating oil depot? Maybe ring them.
 
Its gone up in the last 6 months and i think it still is going up but at the moment, its anywhere between 43-49p a litre, i payed 44p a litre about a month ago for 1000L. I think ill be paying more next time but its worth to ring a few first.

oh no, generous little me gave you my snot-affliction!

well, £1 a litre to top up the mini-digger tomorrow will still be less than they'd charge you to fill it up again...!
if you can remember where the garage is that sells it, i'll be eternally grateful!

Our last lot was in September at 46.55p excluding VAT
What is he charging you it for - work he has done in tractor or is he selling to you?

selling it to me, to put in a 20l container, to take to clipcloppop's to stick in mini-digger tomorrow!

thanks scally, totally forgot about yours, will fill it up from yours next time please!

is heating oil the same thing? is it all kerosene? i'm a right dunce about this stuff...
 
the local garage in my village sells it for 59.9p litre which we use for the chipper (stathern). the jet garage in grantham is 79.9L . a mate of mine buys it in 25l drums from probot oil in melton, not sure what he's paying but doubt it anthing like £1 litre.
 
Sorry but if you are caught with red deisel in your car and not a farmer, they go through the records you will end up with a hefty fine also the farmer who supplied you.

thanks for that, it is for my Gator (which is only used in my fields) and for a hired mini-digger.
i know the law and would not break it.
 
Kerosene/parrafin,is not the same as diesel.it is thinner and lacks the lubricating effect of diesel,so your injector pump will wear out quickly. I paid 54p a litre for 2000 litres recently.
