Yes, there's a tanker open on the quay, at certain times of the day, a quick look at your almanac will tell when it's there.

As Chris says the fuelling berth opens in the mornings up until the arrival of the Scillonian III, call the harbourmaster up first as there may be a bit of a queue when the harbour is busy.
If that is not convenient for you, fuel can be obtained by can behind the buildings on the quay or at either of the other petrol stations which both have red diesel (one at Porthmellon industrial estate the other at the eastern end of Porthcressa).
Be prepared to pay a premium rate, it aint cheap.

If you need a lot you may have to pre-arrange. Long time ago but I was once involved in a Scillies refuel that needed more than was on the island at the time...

Unless you are Richard Branson in VAC2, then they are at least not a third world country anymore.
They even have TV now...

I like the bit when the tin comes down the wall for the money, it's accompanied by "And a little something for the attendant please."
(Of course we gave a good tip.)
