what are the margins on red diesel? maybee 5 pence a liter,so up you go with your boat and tank up with 50 liters,the guys just made 2.50 and it takes him an extra 20 mins to fill in the paperwork and fill you up,businesses cant run on that sort of return,it may well be that some fuel stops will run two bowsers,one for commercial and one for leisure users.

They won't need two bowsers- it's the same fuel for both! The only difference is that there is a different price for leisure users. Can't see it is that complex for fuel sellers. Who can afford to turn away customers these days? The paperwork probably takes less than 1 minute rather than 20 and the guy is there anyway. Most of the day he isn't selling anything.
