vegetable oil suppliers
Hi all,
I'm going to run my car on a mix of veg oil and diesel but am wondering whether there are any wholesalers in the Bristol area who could sell me a 20 or so litre jerry can of the stuff? Any ideas?
Or is Tesco as cheap as it gets? They have a 5 litre bottle of sunflower oil for £5 at the moment.
Thanks,
Straggler

How friendly are you with your local shop keeper? or do you know anybody with a Makro / Costco card where you can pick it up at trade price rather than retail0

£1 a litre for new oil is a bargain, snap it up. Dont think you'll save much more (if anything) going to makro/costco/bookers.
Poundland were also doing oil the last time I was in.
For advice and more, get over to www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk
Whats the car?0 -
I have a Makro card and I always look at the veggie oil prices. It's worked out at just over £1 a litre the last several times I've checked.
Almost not worth doing now unless you can filter used oil and use that. What car are you doing this with?0 -
You won't get better than £1 per litre on veg oil. Still 40p a litre cheaper than dino. What car/van are you running?0

If it's convenience you're looking for JJ Foods do oil in 5l or 10l containers for £4.99/£9.99 respectively, although minimum order for delivery would be £250 to Bristol. Alternatively you could collect for a 10% discount, but the nearest warehouse would be Birmingham so not very convenient, unless you travel up the M5 frequently.0
