Where to buy Diesel

Diesel - A list of outlets that will or will not sell diesel to boaters on their own declaration. Where it has been reported, those marked 'Yes' will accept a boaters declaration on the amount of diesel used for propulsion. Those that will only sell at a fixed rate of 60/40% are marked 'No'. Click on a canal to go straight to the information.

Please note, this list is made up of reports by not only myself but other boaters, so please check before filling your tank. I'll try update this as much as possible, please leave a comment on any blog of mine (click here) and I will update.
