Interesting. What do you have to provide to prove that ?
Smug git .

Have 2 tanks, one for engine & one for heating; note the amount of diesel into each tank & 5 seconds with a calculator.

In that case what exactly, is your Belgian problem

That I can only get red diesel in UK marinas! Having two tanks doesn't magically make white diesel available in marinas.

So what capacity is the engine tank & do you need a full tank for a Belgian trip

200 litres; no, but I always carry nearly a full tank in case of problems; neither of which is in the slightest relevant to the issue!

2 x 20 Lts containers is easy & as i have stated white in Belgium is cheaper than red here

Ah ! That would explain it . Nice if you have the room.

Smug git is me by the way

Well, well, well - nothing changed then - at least they are consistent.

I have used boat yards and marinas throughout the East Coast and the South West and have never come across a marina so uncooperative as Suffolk Yacht Harbour.

I was there for a couple of years in the early 2000s and got the impression that the staff ruled the place without any customer focused management.

Hey Ho.

Having visited recently I found the marina staff really helpful and the food at the lightship better than most other offerings during a week spent in the Stour/Orwell.

Suffolk Yacht Harbour....The 'Marmite' of marinas - love us or hate us!

SYH also charge a fortune for diesel, £1.38 on 60/40 last week.

Don't they just.
Asked if they had forgotten to apply the 60/40 split.
Serious shock to the wallet (100 gal tank).
Won't be doing that again in a hurry.

The place grows on you.
Then again, so does athletes foot.
