A friend is bringing his boat round from Exmouth to Watchet but it's got outboards. Is there a quick online way of seeing where he can get petrol water-side or is it just a case of trolling the almanacs? The boat uses a lot of fuel so trying to avoid the 'visiting the Esso station' option.

Thanks

Dartmouth, Salcombe probably Plymouth, probably Falmouth, and after that, anyone's guess.

Maybe easier by road?
 
Unless you arrange for a prior tanker delivery at major stopping points such as Bude, Ilfracombe, into 205 litre drums and thence into a pumped delivery ?

A bit hazardous, that ?
 
Padstow

Padstow Hm will fetch petrol when in. Inner harbour edit you need containers to suit though. There is a petrol station a short walk from the river in Bideford mooring up on rising near HW on starboard Bank going just below the bridge but you don't have long to fetch before you dry out and Bidiford can be nasty if much swell
St Ives has petrol station about a mile walk but manager will fetch to harbour by arrangement or he has I'n previous years again drying harbour but they have mooring bouys

How much petrol is the OP talking about - presumably a largish powerboat with twin outboards. If it was small it would probably be trailered. Maybe more than a few hundred litres each stop?
