Hi Bob, hope all is well. I think the supermarket fuel is definitely a lower quality fuel. It will meet all the necessary British standards, but will be closer to "going off" than the big name oil companies. With the rise of ethanol in the fuel, which if memory serves me right is about to go up again in percentage terms, this is more of a issue than it used to be. I think if the supermarket forecourt has a large through put of fuel, then it really should not effect vehicles that much. It obviously does effect chainsaws/mowers etc as has been well documented. I don't think the fuel that shell etc sell ( apart from the premium products), is fundamentally different from the fuel the supermarkets sell, just "fresher".

Yes mate, pop me through your address on a PM and Ill get you over a sample. Jon

Oi I am not sure whether I should take this personally or not

HI, just to let you know we do a 100 c/s option for running in cold weather or for people who struggle to pump the 150 c/s product. I am happy to pop you a sample over to test. Jon

Thanks for the reply. Big thank you to Phil aka Flarris for delivering a load on Sunday. That will keep us going for a while cheers for your help. Jon

Hi I am looking for a delivery of nice dry logs to Hastings. Approx 1 tonne bags worth. Can you let me know prices delivery turn around etc. Many thanks Jon

Massive tree across the ridge in hastings last night. Sorry no pics as it was 2.30 and i was ferrying my daughter back from the gig. Be interested to see who got the call out.

Hi all, thanks for all your help in our R & D. Pretty encouraging results from everyone that has tested it. Thanks again Jon

Prices are generally headed up at the moment. There is a double whammy of higher crude prices and lower pound. As all oil is bought in dollars it makes it more expensive. Expect to start paying high 40's and lower 50's for bulk deliveries. Jon

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice from someone who has had some experience with Western Red Cedar Wood cladding. We have been selling a UV resistance wood oil for some time and had loads of positive feedback. The oil is clear and is designed to keep the natural colour of the wood. We have had a customer use it on freshly milled wood and it has darkened the wood in patches. The pictures show before and after shots of the wood. I know its difficult to tell from a photo but if anyone has got any ideas what may have happened I would very much appreciate the input. Thanks Jon Rye Oil Ltd

It may be something we will look at in the future, its a relatively new area for me so lots of research and testing, but if there is a market for it I don't see why not. Cheers for the heads up. Jon

Hi Will, it all comes down to the finish, our decking oil is mostly suitable for soft woods, so pine and cedar etc. When you apply it to darker hardwoods the finish can be affected and may produce a patches of darker finish. It still protects the wood and prevents discoloration by UV but I know for a fact it doesn't work on Iroko as I had that tested by a local fencing firm. I cannot say whether this is the case for other peoples oils just ours. Hope this is of assistance. Thanks Jon

Great there's my three people. If you PM me your address's I can send over some samples next week when I have it blended. Thanks Jon

Hi have recently started selling a range of wood oils, ie decking oil, tung oil and the like. I am in the middle of formulating a Danish oil which is a mix of tung oil and a high UV napthenic base oil. It would be great if I can find 2 or 3 people who are familiar with other peoples Danish oil to test it and let me know how it performs. If you can let me know next week I will be blending it I can send a 5 litre sample out. Thanks in advance Jon

Thanks for the feedback. Its different than the majority of shows we do so may be worth a punt. Thanks for the burger heads up Mark, if your a burger connoisseur you should check out Half Man Half Burger in Hastings, its amazing, best burgers I have ever eaten and they do wicked chili cheese fries as well.
