Fuel Cards

[Daniel Jiggins]

Mine has just lowered the price by over 10ppl as I stopped using it, Will wait and see if it creeps back up again.

I just buy it in or bung a couple of 1000 ltr stillages on the truck and go to the cheapest local garage. £1.17p a litre was the last lot I bought, 99% of the time a truck thats filled at the yard can do a round trip on a tank. The upside is you dont have a cab full of blokes wasting time fuelling up or taking the card or cash and losing the receipts. There are also not many garages around here that you can get a lorry into.

 

 

and tip it straight into the bunded tank

I think when I looked into getting our own white tank butlers were about 3 p a litre cheaper than the fuel card. May be worth talking to them as they will deliver 500 litres. The reason I stuck with the fuel card is the risk of theft or leakage to save a couple of pence a litre. It amazes me what you can transport in an ibc yet when it arrives in the yard it needs to be in a bunded tank.

You can put an ibc on a spill pallet.
