Still a lot better than the Thames where its a lot more than forecourt price.

Are they related to Dick Turpin?

Thank goodness Wheaton Aston is only a mile or so from my mooring

My none waterside dealer (it is not far from the canal) who sells in the 10,000s of litres per week, asks for name, address, use for fuel and car registration number

There is also a big sign saying they do not sell fuel for use in boats

They do however sell to marinas and fuel boats in the area

To me its all a nonsense just buy what you need and be honest in what you declare

PS

I only purchase Kerro from them, I buy my red wherever and declare as I think is appropriate

That's because he has to have an additional registration from HMRC to sell to boats and the paperwork (although small) is not worth the effort!

I remember queueing for diesel, behind a fat boat at Newbury on the K&A.

Their diesel bill was £357, and the guy told me he'd not actually filled the tank.

Mind you it was about £1.12 a litre at that time.

PS  I'm always disappointed if I time it wrong, and can't get a fill up at Turner's, Wheaton Aston

I try to keep mine topped up as best I can.

Main (keel) tank is 1000 litres and each 'wing' tank is 900 litres.

It does give me a theoretical range of about 2000 miles tho'.

All 3 tanks are currently full pending the 'summer cruise'.

2x 6 cylinder diesels manage to push it along.

Is that the catamaran? If so, does the weight affect sailing ability alot?

No - that's the 'cruiser', which was custom built on a Trawler hull by a boat yard owner for his own use.

(The Cat has twin Volvo 2030's (3 cylinders each))

That's because it is in a massive engine bay with plenty of space to walk around to polish. If it was a proper boat then there would be more important things to be doing like boating along the canals rather than scrubbing an engine.

I saw this at Braunston yesterday ......

 

 

Interestingly they still require you to make a declaration, although they don't call it a Self Declaration, it's still up to you.

Hmmmm ?!

 

I also noticed that sign at Braunston yesterday, I immediately made a mental note never to fill up there. 

I'm waiting for the day I fill up somewhere and get told after filling that they only do a 60/40 split, I just want to see the look on their faces when I tell them to take it back out or accept my self declaration. Life is too short if you can't be a cantankerous old git on occasion.

What will Braunston do if you have a boat with duel tanks, one for propulsion and one for domestic?

The Volvos were after a 28 day 3100 mile trip last year - Rijeka (Croatia) to Hull.

If you keep them clean you can see when you have any problems.
