help Questions about boat fuel
How many places sell boat fuel in the UK?
FillRadar lists 173 places in the UK that sell fuel to boats: 172 sell diesel and 18 are confirmed to sell petrol. The waterways with the most are the Grand Union Canal (21), the Trent & Mersey Canal (13) and the Shropshire Union Canal (10). 1 has a price reported by FillRadar users. Phone ahead before you rely on a fill.
What is the 60/40 split for boat diesel?
When you buy diesel for a boat you declare how much of it will drive the boat and how much will heat it or run its generator. The propulsion share pays full fuel duty and the domestic share a lower rate, so a seller can quote three prices for the same diesel. Many boaters declare 60% propulsion and 40% domestic, and many canal-side sellers quote that split as their headline price.
Why do most places show no price?
No open dataset publishes boat fuel prices. The prices on these pages are the ones FillRadar users have reported, with how long ago each was reported. Where there is none, phone ahead: prices and stock change, especially out of season.
Where can I buy petrol for an outboard?
Few canal-side yards sell petrol. Each place's page lists the road forecourts within 3 miles, with today's prices from the UK Government's Fuel Finder scheme, for filling a can.
A place is missing or has stopped selling fuel. How do I tell you?
Suggest a new place or report a change in the FillRadar app, or email support@fillradar.co.uk.
