East coast meths fuel supplier

[syvictoria]

Hi. Does anyone know of a cheap supplier of 5L containers of meths in Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex? I've made bulk purchases in Southampton and France in recent years, but stocks are now running low! Target price is about £1.60-£2.00 per litre! I've been looking at bioethanol online too, but can't seem to find anything at anywhere near the target price. Thanks!

I usually do (& thanks for reminding, have just done) this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/BIOETHANOL...id=1498766869&sr=8-4&keywords=bioethanol+fuel

which is about £2.70 a litre if buying in that quantity.

Actually, it was/is bioethanol they've been stocking on and off but availability is patchy and I haven't seen any for some time (although since selling Erbas I haven't been looking specifically to be fair). They do do meths in small and expensive bottles in the decorating section

If the meths is for a spirit stove, I thoroughly recommend the slight extra cost of bioethanol and I also found it worth the uplift to bulk buy it in the 1l bottles (I usually bought them by the dozen via Amazon) because when a burner ran low/out I could simply squeeze an entire bottle into it and job done

If you want Meths there's a chap on the local estate that supplies this however I am shocked we are allowed to discuss illegal substances on here.

Thanks for (most of ) the replies. It seems that bioethanol is probably the best way to go now, even though it does unfortunately cost a bit more than meths. For the avoidance of any doubt, I am buying for use in an Origo and Trangia (camping) stove!
