Cheap diesel, or too good to be true?

_Kaiser_

Evening all,

My new daily commute takes me down Collins Avenue (in Dublin) onto the Malahide Road and I've noticed this garage (well more like a few pumps really) that seems to do diesel only, but at nearly 10c less than the average.

Anyone know anything about it, or is there a catch? Seems to do a fairly busy trade anyway.

No catch, they are always cheap..

Can't comment on the Dublin one but there's a similar style one in Limerick.

Diesel only, about 5-10c cheaper than the main outlets.

It doesn't have any planning - Limerick Corporation have tried to serve an enforcement notice. The tanks are in breach of the regs. And the owners/directors cannot be traced.

But it does a roaring trade.

That place on Collins Ave is always busy. Plenty of rumour about it, but it's doing well. I've used it a good few times, and nothing wrong with it.

Apart from the fact that it's on the Northside?:D

I always use Amber on the old cork road in Limerick for my diesel - its always cheaper than the rest of the service stations in Limerick - currently at 131.95

I would be very wary of any of these back street fuel dealers.

A common rail fuel pump is a costly item to replace. :eek:

Ah sure it has to be that laundered stuff, full of bleach and all, you'd rather pay €1.35 to Esso etc:rolleyes:

I've only one rule, never queue to buy fuel, my time is more valuable than sitting for 10-15mins to save a couple of euro on a full tank.

Just an aside, Mount Brown Filling Station sell 20ltr drums of "ahem" heating oil (red) for around €16.
