    Easy enough to buy heating oil in small quantities around here (delivered in 25 litre containers) and the driver then pumps them into your tank using a small portable transfer pump) but needless to say you pay more per litre. Which is fair enough really I guess.

    Are you in Northern Ireland as I understood in England no company will deliver less than 500 litres?

    I'm in England and we have a local company that will sell smaller quantities, it's not their core business and is intended more for agricultural use but domestic customers can purchase.
