Re: Red diesel supplier

Well I assumed it would be white, but filled up there twice last year, once in the inner harbour at Mainbrayce and the other time from Alderney Electric (which was half the price of Mainbrayce!) and it was red from both.

Where's Alderney Electric?

Re: Red diesel supplier

They are at the back of the harbour office, about 100 yards away, bloody great shed full of generators. They will take a tanker onto the harbour wall and fill you up from there. The HM put us onto them

Re: Cheaper than Mainbrayce !

Where is Alderney Electric filling point LJS?

There is a good chance we will be off to CI later in the year and if we buy there we will reduce our consumption of red diesel here so reducing the size of the potential tax take from G Brown's point of view.

Axshully, I reckon (and have said here before) that a fair number of the larger boats would migrate over to France if the red exemption stopped. As has been said gin palaces often consume large amounts of alcohol which is cheaper there and the mooring costs are much lower.

So I reckon there will be a significant effect on boating area economies but, unfortunately, it will only become obvious 2-3 years after the taxman rakes in extra money and even a week is a long time in politics. But then, when did common sense ( a v rare commodity IMHO ) have anything to do with politicians?

I have an absolutely fool-proof way of removing the red dye from diesel, totally undetectable by visual inspection or chemical analysis. Thats why I'm not panicing. PM me if you're interested

Doubt it would be any use actually - the government are never there are they!>? The tories are all out on their boats and the labs are all at Brighton beach cursing them - the other lot, they are probably all in the coop right enough but their leader is too wee to see out of the window!

Why not ask Richard Branson to take on the issue of cheaper fuel - seriously, he loves to fight for the underdog and does not lose many rounds - How about a slogan for his brand of diesel then - 'Stop splurgin, buy Virgin' or Lord Mayors Diesel : 'Kens Reds' the congestion free fuel! Or maybe Harrods might help : 'Diesel al Fayed - ebryboddie mus tryit'... Launching my boat tomorrow - must be what triggered my frivolous side!! Roy

Re: Red diesel supplier

For those of us who prefer displacement craft it certainly will start to pay to increase tankage and buy at the best place. My Herd and Mackenzie could carry 1750 gallons, which is a serious figure, used to fill up from a tanker at the harbour wall in Buckie and it lasted until we got back there again at seasons end!

It would be very useful if the duty rate changes.
