I've had some experiences with so called 'Christian' businesses.

My verdict is that most of them "are good living for a good living" for themselves and are best avoided.

Anyone had much experience with Redon ? I usually buy my oil from them , but I've heard a rumour if you buy 900 litres you're more likely to get close to 800 . I'm wondering is there any truth or is it just sour grapes from a competitor ?

Dip and prominently mark your tank prior to delivery.

A dishonest tanker driver might be put off by the markings?

Always check the sight gauge on your tank before and after. You should get a ticket from the diver which is printed out by the meter on the tanker. These meters should be calibrated - just as a petrol pump is in a garage. If you have any doubts go to Weights & Measures.

Dont trust the print out!! (see previous posts in this thread) Try to have the delivery when there is someone at home that should also put a shady driver off.

Compared a few prices

Value Oils were the cheapest 1000 litres= £301.10

Ordered Saturday, delivered this morning Monday

Just ordered 1000L from Knockbracken as they are my local supplier (nothing to do with the Christian company angle). Mind you the price they quoted initially was something like £335 - they price matched H Ritchie though at £310.

Ordered 500l from valueoils.com last night around 22:00, delivery man arrived this morning at 08:00!

Brilliant service - will definitely be using them again.

Compared a few sites and companies.
Bangor Fuels was cheapest but only beat Carlisle fuels by £2.
Always pays to shop around.

Boilerjuice little bit better @ £154! Yes looks like it is creeping up again (surprise surprise!) That and the good news that interest rates are set to rise if not to-day next month! :mad:
