    Well if they want to refine it I'll gladly store it in my petrol tank for free :pac:

    Will you store the diesel, Kero, and every other chemical in your petrol tank as well?

    That's just it.. they don't want to refine it, because there's no demand.

    There's noone to buy it. They have nowhere to keep it.

    That's cheap fuel.

    Wonder would it be viable to buy another tank and store kero ?

    A lad I know actually did that. He bought one of those large square containers that you see for sale at Clara market etc. Holds 750 ltrs I believe.

    Just make sure that no one sees you getting it or the kero delivered. A lot of big tanks don't stay full for long.

    That's exactly what I'm planning on... I'm actually thinking of getting 2 IBC's

    Just make sure that you get the adaptor for the tap, that you can connect a hose to.
    It'll make it easier to transfer into drums etc.

    Or similar.



    Also.. remember that the extra carbon tax is being applied on 1st may.
    It'll be an extra 2c /L for kero

    Thanks for that, gonna get a order in before then.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    I've located 1000L IBCs, used once, for €40.00 each. I'll be putting blanking fittings on the bottom outlet and pumping from them into the main storage tank. I've been doing it this way for the last few years (I have two extra tanks sitting on the tarmac beside the main tank).

    Are IBCs safe enough for kerosene?

    Word is that the price will continue to fall. Any opinions?

    Well they're used to transport everything from wine to acid to molasses.
    I've even seen a few building sites store green diesel in them, and I'm think I've even seen them being used as a full time storage solution for kero , piped and all to a boiler.

    I've seen them on DD for €40,. But you wouldn't know their history.

    I know of a place locally that sells them for €50 , and they are fairly new, might only have been used once.

    I've a friend making enquiries tomorrow about their availability.


    As for any further drop in price.. maybe.. prices change on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

    It's that here in Enniscorthy, probably lower in newline they're always about 2c below the others.

    Dublin must be an outlier then. Cheapest I saw yesterday was 128.9 for unleaded and that was across 4 filling stations between Tallaght and Walkinstown. Diesel was 118.9 in the same places. Looks like the drop hasn't happened here at all!

    Yes everywhere round me is 118.9 still for diesel. I’d say either they using up old stock as it’s not selling fast or just plain price gouging as they know most people don’t know how cheap it is other places as they aren’t travelling around as much

    I think a lot of the pricing is based on delivery cost. Long gaps between delivery ATM, I suspect

    A friend who owns a petrol station told me that his sale of fuel is 20% of what it used to be.
    Diesel is selling (slowly) , but he hasn't bought new petrol since mid march.

    He's stuck with higher priced fuel until he can shift what he has.
