grendel Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 most of the hire yard will happily sell you diesel fuel. I was once asked whether a hirer or private as the price was different, but never did find out which was cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I did, at Horning, diesel is cheaper if you are a private boat I have my suspicions as to why Gtiff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annv Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi Jackson I suggest you only use F.A.M.E free diesel or the new Gas diesel you then wont get diesel bug and if your engine old a deterioration of the rubber seals and hoses.

John That is a very simplistic take. Diesel bug thrives on the interface between the diesel fuel and the water layer. Whether or not you use FAME free diesel, there is likley to be water in your tank. It gets in off the deck filler and condensation and whilst it's true that the ethanol component of most diesel fuels on the river will also contribute to the problem, searching for and finding FAME free diesel will not prevent the problem. And, that's without considering the cleanliness of the yard's tank that's serving you the fuel or the tanker that delivered it to the yard. I am convinced that a tanker delivered 50-70 litres of water to one of my heating oil tanks last year as there's no way that the **&T that I pulled out of it that fouled a boiler had just been building up over time. I pumped gallons out of that tank, from the bottom using a purpose made pickup tube that, if present prior to the delivery, would have fouled the boiler pump yonks ago. My point being that the supply chain can be as much of a problem as your tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 we at Horning pleasurecraft are £1.20 for Diesel so not the cheapest in horning but pump access is easy.. we can service virtually anything so depending on what you have will determine the price. Give George a ring on 01692 630614. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Brooms appears to be the most expensive place on the Broads for almost anything. (I did notice that from October no cash will be accepted, only cards. Going to make a £3 water fill up quite expensive for them methinks what with the time needed to process a card!)

BroadAmbition Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 is it down the same dyke as boulters marine, No - Not the same dyke as Boulters but the very next one down river. The Dyke / Entrance is immediately after the last property on the Stbd bank if going down river. Obviously if approaching up river then its the first dyke immediately before the first property on the Stbd bank Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 In other words, heading up river, it’s the first Dyke on on the starboard side after passing the one that Facebook doesn’t allow you to name!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
