Here in the UK, tax-paid road diesel (DERV), even at our extortionate

You don't pay for cans that way.


Home heating oil is cheap, and perfectly adequate - if you've access.

I use second-hand Jet-A1 from drained aircraft tanks. It's cleaner
than stuff I've bought from garages, and they want rid of it as
otherwise it's just chemical waste.
