    Might be a good time to consider topping up with oil prices on the increase due to tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, West Cork Oil just quoted me €390 for 750l of Kerosene, Top Oil quoted €375, Campus online were €397, no need to ask who I went for.

    Iran and Saudi arent going to go to War. If anything they are going to keep pumping oil to destroy each other's economies. Oil is going to keep falling until one of the major players seriously cuts production. There is no sign of that happening.

    The US and most of Europe is experiencing serious mild weather. So it is resulting in very little demand for oil and gas this year

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,734 ✭✭✭zarquon


    Emo is €275 for 500l in Galway with code. There is clearly cartel pricing going on around the country! Suppliers change their pricing to be in line with other local suppliers. There is no way that Emo should be €31 cheaper for 500l elsewhere in the country.

    So called the Galway branch and sure enough it was a computer error :) I would recommend anyone else who gets the same letter to give them a call explaining you used a promo code and it should be sorted out for you within a couple of minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,776 ✭✭✭pissed


    I got the same letter, contacted customer service who asked me who quoted me originally? I said it was an online quote and she said she would have the charge wiped from my account. The outstanding charge for me was €42.59 not too sure how they came up with that amount.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,271 ✭✭✭TireeTerror


    Its amazing the difference in fuel prices. I buy my oil in the North, its only a 10 minute drive for me. I fill an IBC and then have a small electric fuel pump which transfers it to my tank. For 500 litres of Home heating Oil its only €157 right now. The fact that all home heating related goods only have a 5% VAT rate in the UK is a big factor. So long as you do not transfer more than 1000 litres at a time, and you only use it yourself, then its 100% legal to bring your own fuel over the border. I even phoned the Revenue just to make sure and they confirmed its legal. An IBC isnt a legal container by the way, just so you know!

    I would have thought, a driver and veichel would be required to have a permit to carry flammable liquids for transporting such a large volume?

    Having looked into this you can carry 500 litres without any licence.

    Carriage of liquid fuels
    • Fuel contained in the tanks of a vehicle performing a transport operation and
    destined for its propulsion or for the operation of any of its equipment.; The
    fuel may be carried in fixed fuel tanks which are directly connected to the
    vehicle’s engine and/or auxiliary equipment and which comply with the
    pertinent legal provisions, or may be carried in portable fuel containers (such
    as jerricans). The total capacity of the fixed tanks must not exceed 1,500
    litres per transport unit and the capacity of a tank fitted to a trailer must not
    exceed 500 litres. A maximum of 60 litres per transport unit may be carried in
    portable fuel containers. These restrictions must not apply to vehicles
    operated by the emergency services;

    I was talking to a relative living over the boarder and he said the heating Oil they use is a clear colour oil with a tiny tint of yellow dye going through it. Unlike the red dyed kerosene we use down here

    I wonder if that is the only difference in the 2. Or is either of them thinner than the other.

    Last thing somebody wants to do is ruin the burner using a fuel that is not properly set up for.

    Reading that it appears to only apply to fuel being transported for use in only powering the engine of the vehicle transporting it not for use in home heating, another vehicle etc.

    I kind of thought that myself actually. When I spoke to Revenue in Dundalk they told me I could bring 1000 litres for my own use, but I never thought to ask them about needing a special licence, and they never said anything about it.

    I saw on some UK forums that anything up to 960 litres does not require a special licence or test, however the driver must understand the regulations, such as what to do in an emergency situation. Anything above 960 and a test is required.

    Correct.

    I live beside the border and all I'll say is that I (and most people locally) have a fair decent knowledge of what and what not is allowed ;)

    Im in Donegal and that was a local supplier. As I said I live close to the border so unless you're in Donegal a PM might not be of much use to you. But let me know anyhow if you are resident here in the county.

    i would ring again if i were you. Northern irish kerosene is illegal in the south particulary given the fact that it has a different identifier then irish kerosene.

    I'm a bit delayed in posting this due to the problems boards.ie has had this week with ddos attacks etc.

    €15 off 500L with top oil, promo code TOPOILWEB
    Only valid till order made until 11:59pm Sunday 24th jan

    I just ordered 500L kero for €220


  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭JackNow


    Hi pa990, can you tell me when you ordered online does this lock in the current price, or can it change to the price of oil on the day of delivery. As oil prices fluctuate on a daily basis.
    How many days does delivery take, as I'm considering topping up my tank but I will not be around the house during the week.

    Like any purchase if you pay for it you get that price. Contract complete. Offer, acceptance, consideration.

    I would say if you are worried about an increase that won't happen at the moment. But if you are worried about a decrease that will happen and when you pay it will be at the price on the day.

    I have no reason to phone them again.

    You are absolutely incorrect.

    What has a dye got to do with the legality of its use? Nothing.

    If you can find anything other than opinions of old cronies talking about old outdated rules, then feel free to post. On the other hand the Revenue and Customs are the people who deal with these specific issues and whose job it is to enforce the rules. They could not have been any clearer in their instructions. Next you will be saying that using MGO from the North is illegal because its dyed red instead of green here in the South.

    As long as you are buying it for your own personal use, and the duty/VAT is paid in the country of Origin within the EU (Thats Northern Ireland by the way) then it is not illegal at all. Thats the advantage of free trade within the EU. In the UK the Government only charge 5% for all products related to home use, such asd home heating oil, electricity and gas bills, all 5% instead of the rip off 13.5% here.

    If you live near the border and have been buying kerosene from the South you've been losing out massively.

    You pay by credit card at time of ordering, so that's the price/volume locked in.

    I ordered late Friday night, got a delivery day of Tuesday.

    But delivery times will depend on your local depot

    1000 liters kero was €360 10 days ago see it's €319 Now..... Where's it all gonna end... That was in derrynoose take it away in a bowser with all the risk that brings. 2 outfits there seem to be going toe to toe. Stiil a huge change since this time last year.

    What risk does it bring? Please be specific.

    BTW if youre talking about the prices at The Dandys in Derrynose, you could get it for €308 if you paid in Sterling and used the Revolut card, instead of The Dandys exchange rate which has a bit of commission built in which costs you money.

    Hi all, Thanks for the info on my query. time for me to start ordering 500l.


  • Registered Users Posts: 174 ✭✭Blankety


    What risk does it bring? Please be specific .

    Sorry I don't know the exact customs and excise rulings that hauling kerosene bought in the 6 counties breaks but I'm sure if you get pulled over there'll be plenty. I heard that one of the cullaville sellers lost 2 bowsers on the same day a few week back. Not sure what happened the customer driving.
    Lots of innovation going in in the tank making business I'd say.

    I don't go to the dandy, always struck me as a smarmey outfit. I hate guys who do the hard sell all the time.
    j&p round the cornor are as good pricewise and civil folk, I have no relationship with either by the way, just a personal preference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,271 ✭✭✭TireeTerror


    Well its clear then that your information is wrong. I sat and read through the entire legislation after your post about trade within the EU. There is no extra duty, or VAT to be paid on anything that is bought within the EU that has had its duty and VAT paid in the country of origin so long as it is for personal use. There are only 3 exceptions to this rule, they are for motor vehicles, alcohol and tobacco. There is no limit to the amount of fuel being brought in from the UK so long as it is ONLY for personal use.

    It doesnt matter what things you may have heard of in the past, hearsay is all it is.

    It is very odd that you have nothing to base your opinion on other than hearsay and gossip, yet when I tell you I have phoned the Revenue specifically to find out if there were any restrictions in place, you do not believe me and think the Revenue is wrong. You would almost think you sold fuel in the ROI and are trying to put people off doing it.

    "Traveling with your purchases

    From another EU Member State

    There are no limits on what private people can buy and take with them when they travel between EU countries, as long as the products purchased are for personal use and not for resale, with exception of new means of transport (for example, a car). VAT is included in the price of the product in the member state and no further payment of taxes including VAT can be charged here in Ireland.

    However, special rules apply in the case of goods subject to excise duty, such as alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. The Revenue Commissioners have published information for travellers arriving in Ireland from member states of the European Union."

    Guys... any chance we can keep on topic?

    Ok.. "topoilweb" is still working, €15 off 500L,

    But that might change when someone gets into the office on Monday morn.

    "Heat2016" is also still working, €12.50 off 500L


  • Registered Users Posts: 174 ✭✭Blankety


    Well its clear then that your information is wrong. ........

    You would almost think you sold fuel in the ROI and are trying to put people off doing it.

    [/I]

    As I said I don't know the revenue rules as prosecuted in ROI but I can tell you that if you stick a bowser on the back of your car and drive through Clontibret or Monaghan a few times you'll most likely find out. I think you could have a fun few hours with the guys in the Hi-Vis jackets, reeling off that legislation to them:D:D:D

    You couldn't be further from the truth on your assertion that I sell fuel.

    Getting back on track if it suits some folk it's €0.319 per litre for kerosene in Dandy's or J&P fuels Derrynoose.
