Green diesel in Dublin

John C 1981

Just wondering if anyone knows places that sell green diesel AKA 'Marked Gas Oil' at the pump in Dublin?

I'm putting about 40 litres a week into a generator and there's no point in using the expensive white diesel if I could get cheaper stuff!

The only place I know that sells it at the pump is Topaz on the Greenhills Road but that's a bit of a drive for me and negates much of the saving I get so if anyone knows of somewhere else, I would be grateful if you could let me know!

Thank you.

I thought that Green /Marked diesel was for agricultural use only???

I think the Esso at Newlands Cross beside Joel's sell it at the pump. I'm not 100% sure though.

Did it ever sell green diesel from a pump? Or is/was there a place nearby which sold it?

It is, some people use it on their own land to make do where they can in these expensive times...

Thanks for your help - the Topaz on the Fonthill Road is reasonably close to me so I'll go there.

For anyone who's interested, the Great Gas at Ballymount is charging 99.9 cent per litre for green diesel while the Topaz on the Greenhills Road is only 79.9 cent. I had been paying 114.9 cent per litre for road diesel so at 40 litres a week in the generator, I'm saving €14 per week. Doesn't sound like a lot but over the course of the 2 months I'll be using the generator, that's €112... better off in my pocket I reckon...
