Fuel Collection

May be of interest to those of you with boats that are not so easy to get into the local petrol station...

Have found a supply of 20l Jerry Cans at under £12 each inc. VAT - and they are NEW.

I feel an ebay coming on! Thought it a bit merciless to try and make a buck off what is essentially a free forum (rib.net that is not evilbay).

It is from one of the MOD disposal outlets - 2nd hand are £5...
Figured if we bought a job lot I could get them delivered to Southampton and collect from there.

Car boot sales or jumbles are good for these - a great place to visit is the Old Sodbury sortout - now held at Newbury every year - it is a Land Rover jumble and is HUGE - people literally come from all over the world.

Even if you aren't a Landie freak it is a great place to pick up Jerry Cans and army surplus stuff etc.
