do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
only ever been to Peterborough once .. circa 1980 ... went to collect a GS1000 for the then GF's bro. ... didn't have a license or ins. to ride it home so went and collected it for him .... didn't see much of it and the guy who was selling it gave the demo. of all demo.s ... couldn't wait to get off the back of it ... never again, will I or have I gotten on, the arse with an unknown lunatic .... ****ing dangerous does not begin to describe him :oops::cry::mad::mad:
don't know that part of the world at all .... picked the Wing up from Cambridge and the Z1300 from Norwich ... and of course the 'Drema came from Norwich too ... as @tinydigger keeps telling me ... all the best stuff seems to live in that part of the world .. 250 miles from Chez Druid :cry::mad: ...(which might be a good thing :ROFLMAO:)

To flipping small but man I love this thing...
Especially when i Filled it up a few months ago😄
I'm looking at these just now...how do you fill yours? At the moment I'm driving to the local red diesel depot and getting 25 litre cans filled up but trying to figure out how this would be any different. Don't know if they would deliver for 250 litres worth? Bit of a hassle when it's small scale stuff.

I’ve got a 200l and 125l for in the vans but I’m involved in a job at the moment where we used. 400l one and the fuel delivery guys were happy to come and top it up once a week and sometimes it only took 150l

they won't do less than 500ltrs round here and I've dealt with them 40 years or more -- used to have 6000 a week off 'em, average ....
question of economics, running the trucks, wages, etc. ...
totally understandable.
Happily brought me 850 earlier in the year, but used to go to them for just a 205 drum.

White in mind ATM...I just nip to the local bunker or shell and use wagon pump.
As druid says I think here it's 500 min or even 1000 for delivery. Just so handy for filling up with pump etc than faffing with cans not going to save anything really just hassles and time.
Unless you filled it with white a few months back but that's a one off 😥.

Any reservations about using filling station fuel with bio content in it ?
My supplier will deliver white with no bio fuel which is the only reason I’m not doing it your way at the moment

Ok if you can get white with no bio but there will be very few suppliers where you can.
