Richardk Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I would go about purchasing relatively small amounts of oil - 15 to 20 litres of so? We have a freestanding oil fired heater which I need to get some...oil for. Is it as simple as going to a Dyneff outlet with a jerry can or the like?Many thanks,Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter72 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Do you need heating oil (diesel) or paraffin (petrole)?. the latter is on sale in Bricomarche or M Bricolage in ordinary or deororised forms in 5 or 25lt drums. regardsPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacknanty Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 If Dyneff is a Fioul depot then yes, that is what we did at first. 3 x 25 litre plastic oil containers.Occasionally you may find a petrol station has a fioul pump. We have had occasion to use diesel when we have run out on a Sunday but it is more expensive. We eventually got round to having a delivery from the depot, it worked out cheaper and didn't stink the car out.I have since noticed that Carrefour and Auchan/Atac offer a delivery service as well.Also we once had occasion to use fioul in a lorry, but don't tell anyone as it is just as illegal in France as it is in England !Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardk Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thanks for your replies - and yes Peter, it is fuel / oil as opposed to paraffin. Ironically we only had a delivery of fuel for the main boiler 10 days ago, however, I forgot about this 'little' heater we have which runs off it's own tank. I could syphon off....but then I don't fancy a mouth full of oil really...or the risk of!And yes, Dyneff is a fuel depot which certainly in these parts (11) is a fairly big name. I'll pop along with a container and see what I can get. Sounds like I should also keep my eyes open for fuel from service stations too.Many thanks,Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
