My mates truck got stuck in central LDN last night, kept finding nothing on way in, ended up borrowing an e scooter thing to find fuel, think he ended up on North Circular before he found fuel, filled a 5 gallon container then wobbled back to it. Mental. Suggested he would be better throwing in some veg from a corner shop and just winging it (old cummons 6BT), but he firmly remembers the state of my injection pump after running that stuff for a while :p
Last week coming back from Campbeltown > Glasgow I think I saw 9 fuel tankers heading down that peninsula. Bare in mind there are only 2 or 3 public filling stations on it, total overkill, but there are a few hauliers that have private tankage. At same time in Glasgow more than half stations had zero diesel, or weren't selling it. My old barge will run on neat veg if it has to, just doesn't love cold starts below 8c
