Fuel Prices

[Monkeybusiness]

Just bought 2000l at 82.37/l including vat. I’d held out for as long as possible but had two houses running on fumes….

But fuel cost is probably cheaper today than then, I was on good money for the time( 1965) 6 shillings and 4 pence an hour and mpg was a lot less than now

It's because of climate change bob. BBC said




Along with hot weather, cold weather, floods and drought.

and all the green levy sh1t

I should add that I paid £1.05/l a couple of months ago (!) for an ‘emergency’ 500l.

Out of interest. Does anyone know the current price of HVO?

Received this email earlier,

We just wanted to advise you of the price rise we’re anticipating that will take effect on Sunday 21st August 23.59 (Esso – Friday 19th August 23.59).

When your next weekly price becomes applicable the cost of fuel is likely to increase by around 5p per litre – of course we can’t predict with any certainty what will happen over the next few days but unfortunately prices on current markets remain high.

If it makes sense for your business to take advantage of current prices, then please do so before the dates and times we’ve mentioned above.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of further assistance.

Kind regards

Price of crude spiked by a dollar or so a barrel this morning

Just bit the bullet and ordered 2000l derv at 144.5ppl

Seems a bit high compared to fuel card prices but deliveries are always expensive here no matter the supplier.

It's been a long time since a delivery was cheaper than the pump price however, so there's that. 174.5ppl inc vat delivered vs 188.9ppl best price locally at pumps.

I’ve just been doing small derv fills for the last 4 months in an attempt to get all my machine tanks diluted. Afew are still showing pink on the strainer glass, I’m pretty sure some are stained red as they swapped to plastic on the newer kit which is annoying as by new the tanks have got to be 99% white! The new filter on the bulk tank shows white!

Because I'm forgetfull and lazy .

Does anyone know what the standard hose size is for diesel bowser, just the basic k9 hand pump.

Someone used airline on mine and its just gradually got stiffer and stiffer and now its almost set solid. So it's about time I put a new one on.

My local hydraulic hose place kept them on the shelf ready crimped up threaded both ends to screw into the pump and nozzle, think it’s 1” ? But may be different for hand pump..

I thought 1inch too, I've been meaning to check but as always someone or something comes along to distract me.

I'm.jidt glad they give us the weekend to get everything filled up.

I’d be interested to know what anyone else in Sussex/Surrey/Hampshire pays for derv deliveries? It’s always expensive for me no matter the supplier, yet Fawley refinery is pretty much on the doorstep.
