Has anyone ever worked with a local fuel distributor to buy fuel? I need to purchase about 300 400 gallons at a time. Anyway I spoke with Dilmar Fuels and they will do it, even deliver it in a truck. But more importantly they are still selling Non-Ethanol fuel.
Any other recommendations?
Buying it is the easy part
Storing it Legally
Well thats a whole other story
Woodfloats?
Fire Hazard, what fire hazard?
Years ago, make that many years ago, we used to have 2 underground tanks on our farm, one for deisel and one for gasoline. Both were 500 gallons. The distributor even supplied a pump just like the ones that were at the service stations. Neither fuel carried highway tax since they were supposed to be used in tractors and farm machinery. I still remember grandaddy fussing cause the gas was $.35 per gallon.
When I started driving I had a 66 Beetle that had an 8 gallon tank. I had to scrape up the money to fill it up…that was in 1978 and gas was around .60 or so. Funny, it is all relative I guess.
Two of my friends on the Northern Neck of VA share expenses on a gas tank. Be careful about tanks near water; all kinds of regs, fees, taxes.
I am not talking about storing it. The boat holds over 500 gallons. I was trying to find a wholsaler or distributor that will come to the boat with a truck or allow me to bring the boat to them.
Suprizingly all the calls I have made the best price is still at the gas station…
Just curious if anyone was doing this for the bigger boats.
I called about this when some friends of mine and I had wet-slipped boats in NC. The fuel companies did not want to do it because of the pollution liability should a spill occur. Might be different in the “everything goes” state of SC.
