The Bearwood Boster Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 There is only one place where you HAVE to buy diesel-Turners at Wheaton Aston . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Trouble is, prices vary regularly so list are rarely up to date. The diesel factory link is a good example, some of those prices are from 2015! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Hawne Basin - the canal trust is very competitive in their pricing of diesel and its a nice backwater to get there.

I think anyone can update the prices on that list? but the list does give a general idea and you can compare between them to work out who I are the rob dogs.

They will happily fill jerry cans if you go there by car too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always fill up there when I can. Jerry cans and all. worth a look around the shop too. Blue Loo stuff is cheap and I got a chimney brush for a third of the price a marina would charge. And he does coal at a good price. Top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember it taking 45 minutes to get the historic pair, Atlas & Malus, out onto the cut. Ghosty Hill is much as described by Richard T - lower than it first appears.

Rugby Boats has been 69.9p for the last 9 or 10 months, the owner cant see the point in upping and lowering a couple of pennies very few weeks and the wholesale price hasnt changed that much in 12 months. Its still the cheapest price for miles around, and has a good throughput as gardeners, local road workers, grass management people, and farmers pop along and fill up too.. 5 minutes ago, Allan(nb Albert) said: The bridge into the basin is low.

The tunnel, of course it is, it starts high then drops very low, then another high bit, then another lower bit. The bridge at hawne is only tight as it is on such a sharp corner and the winding hole tends to be a bit shallow - especially for us 70 footers.

It's not. HMRC said retailers can offer a fixed split if they want to -- as long as they make that clear at the start. If you don't want to accept that, go elsewhere.

kawaton Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Why not start a list here? with a sticky State place, price and date.

Boater Sam Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Turners and Norbury Junction are usually around the same price. I would go for Turners every time, he deserves the business for supporting boaters for years. He no longer sells petrol, suspect his tanks are old and didn't want the expense of new ones. But everything else like grease, oils and Blue and lots of spares for boats and bikes are also competitively priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmelly Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I have always found it best to fill the tank when I need diesel whatever the price. If I am passing somewhere that is very very cheap I find it impossible to get any in the tank if its already full. Much the same when I come to think of it with putting petrol in the car.

Is this really so, if I want some diesel for 100 percent propulsion, HMRC are ok if someone insists on only charging me a 60/40 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because its up to you whether you buy it under that agreement, if you do you agree you are using your diesel at 60/40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
