Last lot I bought (about a month ago) was fing expensive 24.1p/l + VAT ( at 5%). Of course you need to buy this in somewhat larger quantities but if you have a neighbour with oil fired heating or Aga or WHY then try slipping him a quid or two for a can of oil... However 28sec heating oil might not be quite as purified as things like "Parsene", probably having a higher sulphur content. I don't know if the fumes from a heater burning 28sec would damge any plants. And judging by the lack of other responses when I mentioned this a while back no one else does either... -- Cheers Dave.

I've used it for a few years with no problems whatever. Trev |

When you say 28 sec heating oil, are you referring to Red Diesel or to
paraffin? If the later then it is OK to burn direct in the greenhouse, but diesel has a sulphur content that is to high. If in doubt find out the oil company and ask them. When we had BP refinery close to us here I phoned and was given all the facts and figures within 10 mins...and 5 of those were getting through to the right person. I am sure you could Email the company concerned and get a reply quite quickly -- David Hill Abacus Nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
