As i understand it, there has never been much reduction on bulk buying white diesel. The only advantage used to be if you live out in the stix you save on driving to a garage to fill up....

Red about 55p/l at the mo.

 

where do you get your red from mate... we buy 5000 litres every 5 or 6 weeks and cant get it anywhere for anything like that price...

Don't forget to get several quotes had two quotes fortnight ago of 64 and 58 ppl + vat for 1000 litres (red ) and kero was 54 ppl for 1000 lt or 58 ppl for 700 lts

 

we always get 2 or 3 quotes and we're a member of local machinery ring type thing and still cant get any where near 60p litre + vat

Will have to make another call then won't i. I presume i spoke to an office girl but thought she'd know what she was on about!! Anyway going on what you're saying it must be wrong so why do you bother buying it in bulk? If the fuel is availabe on the forecourt for about the same price surely it's hardly worth the bother is it? Plus you must have a higher chance of fuel theft:confused1:

 

I dont buy in bulk and store I use a bunkering card with BP. Sometimes its cheaper than the pumps by up to 8p a litre but not recently. If you get a 1000 litres delivered in you need a bunded tank and you will save 3p a litre max.

Do you? Have they changed the regs again?

 

Last time I checked (about 2 years ago) it was over 3500L for domestic & over 1500L for agri plus other exemptions for temporary tanks so an IBC would be fine.
