(ps. its a rented property so I have no control over this)

    Assuming you mean red diesel then it's around the 70ppl mark ATM.

    ETA tractor diesel = red diesel

    Well that's the normal price at my garage when the farmers get about 200l a time to take back to the farm. It may be cheaper going through a heating oil company
