Just bought 700 liters for central heating oil for 24p per litre. After using the discount code FLASH-P10 to get £10 off. Seemed a good deal to me seems the lowest price in ages it would appear.

Yes, IF. Depending where you live it may, for some, work out much cheaper over several years even including a fine. Some areas you would be more likely to die in a horrific accident than get your tank dipped. If you save around ten grand over four years for example it would be worth it for many. For many it would not. Some may even like to pretend that morals enter into the equation but these people would tend to be the ones who would prefer to be raped by their own elected government every time they go to a petrol station. The morals on either side seem objective. It comes down to choice ultimately though many are unaware they have a choice.

just remember the fine is for having the fuel in your car and a separate fine for knowingly putting it there so if you get clocked 'I have no idea how that got there officer' is the tact to take. Highly unlikely they will dip a car, mainly lorries but a dead give away is fuel sloshed all down the side of the vehicle so fill carefully. Having said all that, I disown all of the above haha

Heating oil is incredibly cheap ATM, great price, I just got a 24p price for 500 litres. 26p from boiler juice.
I wish I needed some :disappointed:

Blimey, that sounds good. I've not dealt with this company but for 900 to my post code in the South West it's 25.03p a litre. To be honest I normally ring around so don't know what the price is at the moment.

If you mix the kero with around 15% oil in a drum you can run many older diesel cars on it and a lot of trucks. This works out around 30p a litre which compared with the price of crude were STILL getting humped

And get a huge fine if you get dipped.

and then dump your car after you finish this fuel in tank, provided if you manage to finish this fuel in tank before car.

Works out as 26.2p for me down here in Sussex. A combination of the drop in the oil price and the mild weather. I suspect after xmas it will be even cheaper. A little peeved as I bought 2000 litres back in September and have probably only used 200 or 300 so have little space in the tank (I paid around £600 back then!).
Still, around 2 years ago I paid almost 70p a litre!!

i am seriously debating finding space for a second tank in my garden, heating oil is stupidly cheap compared to 5/6 years ago

I once took part in a roadside stop connected with my then job. They're not interested in private vehicles - generally trucks, vans and other commercial vehicles such as taxis (possibly).
They're looking for red diesel (green I believe in Northern Ireland) as that is subsidised diesel for agricultural and construction purposes - about half the cost of regular diesel. They dye it so it can easily be traced. Even if you once used it but hadn't in months, their equipment is so sensitive that they can detect the minutest trace. If the trace is very, very small they'll just give you a warning, unless you'd been warned before that is.
They stop trucks and vans mainly as they're the most likely vehicles to use it as they have access to it easily - building sites and farms. Tractors use it and when they drive along country roads to go into the next field they're technically breaking the law as it's only for use on the land, not allowed on any public road - but they would never bother to stop them in a rural area. They may however stop one if on a main road or any road not near farmland, or indeed JCBs or similar as again, they're only allowed to use it on construction sites - not allowed to use it to get from one site to another. But again, they would probably turn a blind eye.
However, vans and trucks would be targeted as one of their biggest costs is fuel and so are much more likely to use it illegally because they can save so much money. They would also target 4x4 vehicles, especially if clearly or obviously being driven by somebody that works on farms or construction sites.
First thing they do is ask where you live and what you do for a living. If you say construction or farming, you're going to be dipped. Anything else, maybe, maybe not.
What they would do however if they found somebody using Kerosene I have no idea!

These are 3p a litre cheaper than boilerjuice around here (somerset) are they any good?

Hot, only ever looked at boiler juice, have used the heatingoil.co.uk site before but always found them slightly more than boilerjuice. However heatingoil.co.uk seem to be slightly cheaper at the moment, about £25 for 1000 litres including the code. However the boilerjuice prices haven't fallen as much as I would have expected given the recent fall in oil price, so I would predict an imminent price fall on boilerjuice, which will likely take it lower than heatingoil.co.uk as it usually is in my experience.

Kerosene is clear so dipping wouldn't tell them anything anyway. You can use "gasoil" as domestic heating fuel, which is "red diesel", though only if you have a boiler that runs on it, most domestic oil boilers are kerosene though.
I still wouldn't have thought using kerosene in a diesel engine is particularly good for it, I know it is added in the winter anyway to stop waxing but this is generally in fairly small proportions, eg <10%. I don't think it lubricates the engine like normal diesel does.

I've only been on oil for a couple of years and when we first filled up with 1000 litres it cost us about £450 now I can get it for £250

Can anyone confirm how they deal with "short orders", I would like to top up my tank but not sure if I can squeeze 500 litres in, what happens if they can only get 400 in our example, do they surcharge you or just charge for 400 (boiler juice refund you from my experience)

proved a false economy using these as they lost my tank cap I presume they dropped it inbetween the skin of the bunded tank so I'll have to get a new cap
