Non-biodiesel - is it still available anywhere or has it been banned?

I would like to buy a quantity of unadulterated diesel fuel, for long-term storage for use on my old slow boat which has a big old engine. I have searched on the internet and all I get is long lists of people who sell biodiesel - the very thing I don't want. Does anyone know where I can get supplies of the "real" thing? I am willing to buy quite a lot if I can find it. I am well aware of the treatment chemicals which are available - I use them myself to keep my boat going - but I would like to have a stock of non-biodiesel to keep me going for the last few years of my boating life. I can collect from most places in England south of a line from the Wash to Merseyside.
If you don't want to reply publicly please send me a PM.
Thanks.
 
Plenty of fuel berths in the Solent sell non-FAME diesel, which I think is what you're after. I assumed that was the same everywhere, but apparently it's only here because of the proximity of Fawley Refinery.

Fame free is sold at Shotley which is not close to Fawley.
 
IIRC, Largs marina advertised Fame-free red diesel, probably others as well.
My local farmers' suppliers in West Cumbria sells fame-free gas-oil, "because the other stuff caused bother with vintage tractors"
Might be out-of-date nw of course.
