Problem getting heating oil down a lane way

cdon

Hi, I'm frozen to death and urgently needing a solution to an issue with getting oil from a tanker down a very narrow lane way to my house. The house is roughly 150 yards from the main access point at the top of the laneway. I have contacted all the major oil providers and none have trucks small enough to fit down the laneway. Neither will the pumps stretch down the full length of the laneway. Please please please can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?????

Try Plant hire firms, there are some that have small car trailer sized tanks that are used for filling diggers that are out of the way for oil companies.

In passing is this a new problem or first fill?

Might make it very easy for our 'Caravan Utilizing Nomadic Traveling Society' friends.

House across the road from me has the tank on the garage roof. There is a pipe going down into the garage which ends in a gate valve. Looks about 2 or 2 1/2" BSP .
Tanker hooks up to this and fills tank above.

So maybe a length of hose (diff between the end of tanker hose and the tank) with the right fittings could work.Have to work it out with the oil supplier tho.
