Heating oil big drop

DJIMI TRARORE · 24-04-2020 5:03pm

400 per 1000l in cavan/meath, expected to drop again by the end of next week

Ray Donovan · 24-04-2020 5:28pm

Sister got 1000l from Flaherty Fuels Ferbane, Co Offaly for €370 today. They said they'd do 37c a litre regardless of how much she got.

I rang Claddagh Oil and ordered 800L for 300 EUR. I would have ordered more if I thought I had space in the tank.

Why didnt you just ask them to fill it up?

That's a very good price i.e. 375 for 1000 litres.

People are saying "It'll go up next week".

Do ye mean because of the carbon tax or otherwise?

I have three 1000 litre tanks waiting, and waiting, and waiting and I don' want to fu by leaving it too late

Right now I can get it at €356.00 per 1000 L.

Carbon tax is definitively going up next week - and the markets are a mess right now so its hard to say how that will affect pre-tax prices.

356 is a great price in fairness, if I could get it for that now I'd be filling every spare space in my two tanks and numerous containers.

It's 400 here in Kerry since this morning. The Green Party tax is coming in on May 1st so it'll be an extra 20 euro per 1,000 litres.

Hopefully the lack of storage space worldwide will see prices continue to drop in the short term.

Yes, the carbon tax is not what's bothering me and I'm not sure if I'm misinterpreting it but I thought I read that suppliers are trying to get rid of as much as they can before the carbon tax rise. Why?

Once the carbon tax goes on, will they raise their prices also?

They want to flog what they have in stock so they can restock at cheaper prices.

Surely that can't be matched or go any lower. That price must be based on ur 3000L purchase. I'd be fighting just to get the whole lot for €1k cash... :-) No harm in asking

I'm waiting, it's 400 here.

At 356 I'd rather not take the gamble that the man with the orange skin and the comb over might trigger an upsurge in demand.

Happy4all · 24-04-2020 7:14pm

Not use To being in the position to be able to afford to consider a full fill. If I order 1000L and it turns out there is only room for 900L in the tank, I presume they adjust your bill to what you actually got?

Ah yeah of course you pay for what you get, if you order a fill and it takes less than 500 litres there will probably be a small extra charge of a couple of cents a litre.

No. It's not based on 3000 L purchase. Have a look here...

Bearing in mind that is what it is at 20:27 on 24-04-2020

There is a €355.00 but they won't come as far as me. The €356.00 will though

Darc19 · 24-04-2020 8:55pm

At €350 there's very little margin unless the refineries have dropped their prices.

Normally circa 10c goes on refining oil into kerosene, circa 10c for distribution and 4c for carbon tax.

Oil @ $25/€23 costs 14.5c a litre

So that's 38.5c + vat @13.5%
About 43c a litre.

Even if refineries were at 5c and tight distribution at 8c, carbon 4c, oil 14c, total 31c. Add vat and you're at 35c

But feck all profits for anyone, so unsustainable.

The 2c extra carbon will eat any potential drop by oil to $22 (current price), so I'd be grabbing €350/1000L now.

Still cursing for paying 477 3 weeks ago ðŸ˜‚

Well considering 1000L can be got for €370 in Offaly and less in other places you may have overpaid a little.

I just ordered 1000 litres for €349. So yes.

I remember paying €20 for 20 litre drums during the last recession.

As long as you keep it out of sunlight it should be fine, if you had a new or barely used one id see no problem with storing it long term, ibc are designed to hold toxic/corrosive liquids as it is, oil tanks arent double skinned so i dont know why the other poster mentioned this

In accordance with Building Regulations oil tanks must be positioned over a bund of equal or greater capacity. Not the same as double skinned but extra safety required in the event of a leakage

Im pretty sure Bunded ( double skin ) oil tanks have been the mainstream for a long time now

Certainly back in 2010 when our oil heating was installed this was the situation
I don't imagine that the legislation was relaxed since then

OIL TANK REGULATIONS
Important information : Single Skin Oil Tanks

Unlike Bunded Oil Tanks, Single Skin Oil Tanks incorporate no form of secondary containment whatsoever. Therefore, in the event of a spillage, an environmental pollution incident will result.

Single Skin Tanks are therefore inherently unsuitable for installation at any agricultural, commercial, industrial and institutional installations. At many installations, fitting a Single Skin Oil Tank where a Bunded Tank is legally required is a criminal offence.

Single Skin Oil Tanks are also unsuitable for installation at most domestic oil
storage installations too

Don't think I've ever seen a bunded tank at a domestic premises. Like everything regarding insurance, everything's fine until something goes wrong. Anyway we're getting into the usual boards bull**** of arguing about nothing and going completely off topic. Wexford prices are still 50 to 60 Euro more than what's being quoted here.

Chris_5339762 · 25-04-2020 10:39am

Any good prices out there for Cork? Trying to convince the folks to fill the tank up, think we'd need about 500l worth. Folks have used East Cork Oil before, how are they for prices at the mo?

Trying to get parents to ring around is like I've asked them to go hire a hitman.

East Cork oil took over WFC here in Enniscorthy, they've been consistently dearer ever since.

I recommend to those who are currently running low on Kerosene Home Heating Oil and who intend on ordering a refill in the coming days /weeks to bear in mind that the Government announced in last Budget plans to increase the Carbon Tax Levy which will take effect on this Friday 1st of MAY which will result in a price increase for consumers. Place your order with your preferred suppliers between now and Thursday 30th April

Carbon tax
The carbon tax on fuel will increase by €6 from €20 per tonne to €26 per tonne. The increase will apply to auto fuels from midnight on 8 October 2019 and to solid fuels from 1 May 2020.

Check your own county's local supplier prices via below price comparison site although; please note that NOT all suppliers are provided and it's always useful to check other suppliers prices.
I know in Cork, prices are NOT currently quoted on www.cheapestoil.ie for the following suppliers:

TOP Oil www.Top.ie (Use Promotion Code: " SPRING20 ")
Texoil https://texoil.valero.com/
Dan Oil https://www.danoil.ie/

Amber Oil https://www.amberoil.ie/ (Use Discount Code:" AMB500L " which gives €10 Discount Off if Minimum Quantity is 500+Ltrs
