Default paraffin and bind weed

Regarding the bindweed:

You need to patiently follow the leaders one by one prising each stem
gently with a trowel
making sure that you recover every morsel of the stem as you go
otherwise every little piece left in the ground will form another plant.

Slowly and surely is the answer to this problematic weed. With patience
and following the above advice you will quickly eradicate it.

I just purchased a greenhouse and a greenhouse heater which uses
paraffin. Could anyone tell me the cheapest place to buy paraffin for
this heater?

Finally, I have bind weed in my garden and would like to get rid of
it. I have been told that I just need to keep pulling it by hand and
just try to keep on top of it. Is this true or is there a better way?
My vegetables hate it!!!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Cheers, Mark
