is this better? https://nbsg.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/seaplane_hazard.pdf

 

you get a mention on page 3.

I'm afraid I get a hazard warning me not to download the attachment.

 

In fact cancel that...the word Hazard is in the title...it wasn't a warning. I'm afraid technology is not my strong point.

 

I'll look into it but I suspect there are some crazy regulations surrounding Avgas.

 

How much fuel does a seaplane need? Are we talking a couple of drums, or several hundred litres?

I think Rick on Auriga covers the Ashby. Gravenor Boating Company.

 

Yes - bought from him up here last week and asked him for a leaflet: -

 

Ogarugu@hotmail.co.uk

 

079762013199

 

But think he has a pretty regular, reliable round (like the lovely Junior).

 

Hope that helps, Dave. Saw your boat as I came up the lock but looked like you might not be about so didn't shout hello!

I am currently moored in Burnley (brave or stupid?) heading towards Leeds is there a fuel boat on that stretch? Or could any one recommend where I can get diesel at a reasonable price

Cheers

As far as I can see, there are no fuel boats at the western end of the L&L canal. We are presently south of Adlington. Travelling North and Eastwards.

 

White Bear Marina, on the site above display a domestic price of 84p. So I guess not up dated. I will see in the next day or so.

Yes, I forgot to add that all these sites rely on boaters sending in updates.
