Kerosene/Red Diesel Where to Buy

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Bigherb, Feb 22, 2019.

  1. I know some of us use the Diesel heaters in our vans. Running on kerosene or red Diesel saves a lot of money currently around 80p per litre saving around 40ppl over road Diesel.
    The problem has been finding it in small quantities for those of us that don't have oil fires central heating especially when you are touring around.
    I have made list in a KML file for loading into Google earth/maps of known outlets with dispensing pumps.
    Not an exaustive list, if any body know of other outlets put it here and I will update it.

    Edit, I should have said, download file then import to Google earth/maps.

    Kerosene/Red Diesel KML file 21/2/19 in my dropbox.

  2. If you're touring Southern Ireland, there are plenty of places, usually the small country Garages rather than the main motorway ones, the Diesel is Green though (to stop it being smuggled in from the North where its now more expensive.), so its officially "Greener" than petrol :)

  3. Surely given the small amounts you will burn in your van diesel heater is it really worth going to so much bother to save what overall will be very small sum of money?

  4. Some of us use our vans during the winter. And some use them for garage heating. I've saved £45 already.
    Plus kerosene burns cleaner.
     
  5. suspect you are in a minority.

    Can't open the file and its not relevant to us anyway so I can't check if you've got them, but many of the marinas on the inland waterways sell red, or can point you to a place that does.
    Both Mills boat yard and Shardlow marina in Shardlow, Derbs sell it if they're not on your list:thumbsup:

  7. Thanks, I have a few at wharfs/marina. Stayed at the caravan site there once but didn't need it then.
    Does they only red or kero as well?

    Fuel suppliers of heating oil red diesel and white diesel will sometimes have small pumps for each at there depot's ....Halso at Ashbourne in derbyshire do ...don't know if they have nation wide depot's ....others might do the same .

    No kero, just red:)
     
  10. Ta, most of the marinas only do red. but updated the list it is still cheaper.
     
  11. Thanks, found them in the old goods yard and they do Paraffin. Interestingly found their Fradley site is in the old Fradley airfield control tower.
    But like a lot of these sites they don't advertise they have a retail pump.
