Woolverstone is MDL so berth holders will get 16% discount (via Otium points if recent customer, cash discount if Freedom customer) so actual cost will be £1.23 if you're an MDL berth holder. More on a par with Burnham.
Burnham even cheaper at £1.15 if bunkering more than 450 l
"Had" is the operative word; besides, it was not duty paid for leisure vessels.
Red diesel is no different from white diesel. They both have the same properties and are made up of the same components. Red diesel is marked red to indicate a lower duty tax.
This has been covered several times before. The theory is that fuel outlets on tidal waters are FAME-free and non-tidal water outlets can/do contain FAME. The link quoted in post 10 does not relate to marine use. Yes, some marinas won't know, and/or will have ordered the wrong stuff through ignorance or cheapskating.
Their website and marina map say they do now.
Fox's have always had a diesel pump in the 27 years we have been there. On the port side long pontoon as you enter the marina.....so you may have missed it....
List of shame, SYH!!!
I don’t know any of the locations, but selling fuel is a PITA - HMRC paperwork, environmental controls, ordering and managing stock which may well tie up cash flow until it is sold, tank and pump maintenance etc. then you need a staff member to go an man a pump, a card machine to take payment etc. the more customers you can amortise all of that over the better price per litre, but it’s not a business to get rich.
We filled up there a week ago to leave the tank topped up before lifting out, it doesnt have the bio diesel element in it that garage diesel has, Fame free. I was really surprised at the price - didnt check prior to filling but as we have a smallish tank it wasnt too bad. I just dont want to chance that gloopy diesel bug awfulness.
