    Hi all..
    Well if your brave enough or have to drive on the M6 Motorway up or down ...going on hols, or journeying..
    whatever :lol: you can source lantern fuel at reasonable prices if you are stuck and need some for your lantern..Junction 23.. St Helens ..10 minutes to WA9 3 EZ .. Caldo oils St Helens where I get mine ... I suppose there will be some cheaper out there but its nice to know.. 9 -5 M - Fri , maybe Saturday morning ?... prices at the trade counter to you currently..
    1. From the depot pump take your own fuel cannister ... 28 second Kero .. 75p per litre as little/ much as
    you wish ..
    2. 4 ltr pre pac paraffin .. £5.42 p
    3. 4 lts paraffin extra ... £5.67 p
    Just a thought .. I have no connection at all with this business [-X

    terrifying bolts of lightning hit the Caldo oil depot in St Helens and all struck the metal pumps and ancilliary electrics ... !!@#???>>>&& .... nowt ' appened .. phew ..save pumps put out of action .. Aidan the boss will sell you prepack though at pump prices which is a great saving

    My local Texaco garage had pumped paraffin for years but then one day it said out of stock and that was that. The lady in the shop explained that there had been some additional regulations introduced over containers and dispensed paraffin that had made selling it 'loose' no longer viable...doh!

    Kero ... 76 p a litre
    C1 90 p a litre

    Same location , maybe the during takeover was deemed too much they were doing OK before.
    Same location . Pre pac C1 available but a tad costly ... they could be AZTEC oil now !
