yep same here was £9'ish for 20L now just over £10 anyone know where we can buy bulk oil say in 200L drums ?

i know tesco is £8.40 for 15l but it would be good to find somewhere to buy in bulk

[RodLeach]

I was in makro yesterday, £10.85 for 20l and another "low cal" veg oil (for those who want to keep there surfs nice an slim) was £10.35 for 20l

I'm really pleased this is going ahead, but is it wise to call someone at the National advice line and get them to confirm it? are we all 100% sure that from the 1st of july we can use 2500ltrs per annum tax free?!?

[John McC]

wonder if we as a club could locally get together and buy bulk and get some sort of discount. I know in my local area (Southampton) there are a number of forum members so if we all got together we might be able to negotiate a big discount ?

Ok have emailed a few locals cash and Carry's to see what we can do, any idea how much you would like to buy in one hit. I normally get 100L at a time as this is easy to put in the back of the truck.

Don't use a funnel use this instead use a lid from the oil drum (plastic drum) and connect a bit of hose pipe to it. Then screw it on, stick the drum on the roof of the truck or top of some tall steps, hose in the fuel tank and away you go. Oh I also make a hole in the top of the drum to let air in

Bulk buying of veg ie. 1000L is usually more expensive, on e-bay you can buy filtered wvo from 20p per ltr, you would need to check for ffa`s(free fatty acids) and possibly wash it and i`d put a filter before your orig one to get any rubbish you may have missed, i use a northern tools one http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=5021E
That way you can see any dark rubbish and it has a water trap.
or fit a small clear diesel(must be diesel) filter from halfords in the line before your o/e one.

OK Booker has replied and is willing to deal with us now need to know what quantities people want ? I think 100L per month per person ?so whos wants to dip in there will be no commitment until we're happy with the price

cheers John

Would there be any chance in getting them to honour the price at ALL outlets, not just your local one?

Vicki's gonna check out Makro and, oh, the name escapes me now (on the dock road in Liverpool) this week for me.

John, the filler device is an excellent idea!

Is that inc. VAT? Just less than 50p/l...

Think it's Morrisons that are selling 3 litre containers for £1.79, which is pretty good.

Vicki's gonna check out COSTCO tomorrow cos she has a card for there.
