What is to stop me from

Buying a large quantity of red in October from the marina & asking them to store it for me until I need it ?

Oil storage regulations - start here

I can't imagine any marina setting aside a special tank for one customer. Installation costs and insurance would be more thanb the increased cost of red.
So why not do it yourself ? Buy, or make up a bowser. Bunded fuel tank on a trailer, or buy a real jobby from Witham

and invest in a few thousand litres with some like minded friends.
A difficulty will be finding somewhere which would allow you to refuel with your own tanker, unless you can find a private mooring ?

Would that actually be legal? If you bought it before the changeover and then used it after? I'm not completely up on this, but are they actually going to send customs chappies out after people to find out when the fuel was bought?

It's perfectly legal if the fuel was bought (ie paid for) before November. Otherwise fuel in your tank would be liable to extra tax after November!
This is also why there is a big rush to fill up cars whenever an increase is announced in the budget.

Hi,
Interesting point about buying a large amount and asking marina to store it, a diffrent slant might be to purchase an amount of fuel prior to November, then draw down various quantities as and when needed. I have a pal who when he gets paid puts an amount of money on a tab at his local, he then drinks as he pleases, buys rounds what ever until his monthly "credit" is down to nill, if he does the lot in 3 weeks he has a dry few days............it's a thought.
