I have a 50L drum ready to fill for fueling my compact tractor but don't seem to be able to find anyone who will deliver this amount (min 500L) and I certainly don't want to pay more than double for forecourt fuel.

Anyone know of a work-around? Might I have to go see a local farmer? Can I use Kerosene 28 from my oil tank?

I am in Saudi, well spotted.

I do, however, go home occasionally and need to do some gardening on the tractor.

A 50L drum is unusual, now that it is mentioned. I picked up 2 at the Dubai Autodrome 24 race one year, used for race fuel. Handy as I did track days there, now handy for gardening fuel. I have one with 20L of Super in it for mixing 2 stroke, I recall only putting 20L in as I thought 50 might be a little heavy!

I think I may have to go talk to a friendly farmer then.
