Paraffin - Where can you buy it loose by the litre these days

I want to buy say 20 litres of Paraffin to heat the greenhouse but it seems you can't buy it loose and places are now selling 4 litres for between £7-12 which makes it very expensive. The garage I used to go to which had a pump and you could just fill a jerry can has been taken over by a big chain and they no longer do it. Any one know where it can be purchased in small quantities in or around Surrey or even somewhere near M25 ideally from a garage by the litre or mail order in say 20 -25 litre drums.

You could use central heating oil. It's not as refined as paraffin so can be a bit stinky. The other option is to find a local allotment association that would be wiling to sell you some.0

Our local Shell garage had a pump last September when I needed some.
Maybe try phoning a few garages and ask?0
