Jen-in-Wellies Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 No idea if they do diesel, but worth phoning Savile Town Wharf and check, turn right to Dewsbury. https://saviletownwharf.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have much hope though. Any ideas further on? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas further on? Thanks so much! There is Shepley Bridge Marina in Mirfield. Nothing about diesel on their web site, but worth a ring. Shire Cruisers at Sowerby Bridge definitely used to and still have hire boats, so they will have diesel for their own use at least. Assuming you can get that far.

beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Dewsbury should have diesel. Coal and gas too. Plus a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen-in-Wellies Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 If you have a jerry can and are reasonably mobile, you may find a road garage selling red within walking distance. The area is very built up, so chances are reasonable. Worse case, you'll have to bite the bullet and buy road diesel to get you to Sowerby Bridge. Better that than risk the river sections without enough go juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyG Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 (edited) Is it possible for some boater to set up a database for red, I'm sure there used to be a spreadsheet. Edited March 28 by LadyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon57 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 If you ring south pennine boat club they could let you have 20ltr only as an emergency. They will need notice as it needs to be arranged. Next is Dave at bronte boats at Hebden brdge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say it did me any harm after testing plenty 👍 I remember they got a bit mardy down in the office when I didn’t want to do a 60/40 split on the diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put two in today A guy on Facebook is writing an App. I would hold your breath on it working out well The problem is, as always, one wants to know best prices if one needs 100l, but if its only to get you there, or they charge marina prices, one is inclined to buy smaller amounts, which is frustrating for the vendor and the boater. I could have updated the list recently, but did not have the split, it was charged at £1.00 for cc, Goole Boatyard, not Viking! I signed a form, which they filled in.for me. I am happy with £1 a litre. I think some places make different charges for smaller amounts, which is reasonable, selling twenty litres will hardly cover costs Edited March 29 by LadyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momac Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 1 hour ago, LadyG said: I think some places make different charges for smaller amounts I think you can probably get a discount if you buy a significant volume. Not sure what that volume is but guess its greater than the volume of most boat tanks. I have never heard of greater than the pump price charged for a smaller volumes. The nearby marina is happy to sell 20L at domestic rate as long as it goes into a tub or jerry can and not into a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
