Aspen cans

We are mowing yards so have better storage. I thinking about a barrel again. Can someone recommend a decent pump please or is a tap best? Cheers

Hi Kav,

 

Apart from not having the cans to recycle one drum will cost £40 delivery and the metal pumps we sell cost around £200 but will last.

 

Add that to the time spent handling and the risk of dirt contamination before decide the drum is the cheaper option.

 

Pumps can be supplied by your local Aspen dealer.

 

Don't forget dealers offer free delivery direct to you on a pallet (54x5 litres) and discount. so per litre it works out cheaper to buy 270 in 5 litres than 200 in a drum.

 

Kind regards

 

Eddie

Eddie is spot on, a barrel is not as cheap, or as convenient, as you may think

 

On the basis that we deliver 54 cans (pallet) with free delivery, after discount the price (inc vat) per litre is £2.85

 

But one 200 litre barrel incurs a £40 plus vat (£48) delivery cost, making the price per litre £2.81, only saving 4p per litre over cans.

 

When you consider the cost of the pump, the time taken decanting before leaving the yard, and the chance of contamination (as well as a little pilfering) I reckon its much better to stick with cans.

 

Of course, if you buy 2 x 200 litre drums we will deliver free, making the PPL £2.73, saving 12p per litre over cans.

Im going to buy a drum next I think as I just bought 15 cans and it's nearly £300 quid. Then get this to pump it.http://www.centretank.com/products/detail/high-flow-rotary-hand-fuel-pump

 

 

Sorry 18 cans was £298 inc delivery. Ok a bit of VAT back.
