View Full Version : Heating oil and red diesel
I see by the paper that Bruce lindsay coal are now selling heating oil.and red diesel on pump in any quantity that you want that would be good as it costs so much these days to fill an oil tank I take it that it is at the old Elm tree filling station.

it works out to be about 3.5 per litre more expensive than simpsons at todays rate, if you were to buy 500 litres from simpsons, now given that you can get 100 litres from the coal yard at any time for about 69 quid, it does leave you room not to be under any pressure to try and save the 3 or 4 hundred quid you need for the full five hundred you have to buy from simpsons, i think its a good thing and already have my 4 25 litre drums at the ready for when i get home,

It's a great idea to have this service available.
Regarding delivery of heating oil. How do you know that the amount you are paying for is the exact amount that is being delivered? I've never really given it much thought before, but I have just had a specific amount of oil delivered, and knowing the level the guage was at prior to delivery, the level it was at after delivery just seemed a little lower than I expected. It's most likely just me overestimating the level it should have been at, but it's just got me wondering, how do we know things are all above board?
Dont they have a gauge on the truck
ask to have a look before he starts pumping and then once he stops it will show the exact amount transferred
may be a bit embarrassing though
But you wouldnt get ripped off!
Simpson gives you a printout which shows the fuel levels prior to and immediately after the transfer.

How could they possibly know my fuel level prior to delivery? The printout I get just gives a description of the product and the quantity delivered. Is this printout generated by the driver at the time of delivery, or in the office prior to delivery?

They know what is in their tanker.
The tanker driver gives me a slip with the tanker readings before and after filling my tank, the amount put into my tank, it also has times of the readings.
