Re: again it seems...audiens cave ?
Gibraltar is really funny, white diesel, no marker, duty free to boats at 57p a litre. Allegedly the same stuff as the road garage sells. Allegedly no jerry cans are allowed to be filled at the fuel pontoon. There has been hundreds of Spanish boats here in La Linea for the start of the tuna fishing season. Party time! But what was funny was watching my pontoon neighbour power boats going across to Gib, filling their tanks to the brim then coming back to LL and then a procession of full jerry cans being taken to their vehicles to fill them up!

Marinas are not really the issue and some have white pumps already. As I said in an earlier post the reason for the UK government adopting the policy it has is to ensure availability of fuel for all users around our coast and inland - same situation in Ireland. As you might appreciate our coastal situation is very different from that of Belgium and this just highlights the difficulty of imposing common rules across such a diverse group of countries as the EU tries to do.
