Morning All,

I went to a small local petrol station today, which only has 1 diesel pump and a couple of petrol pumps.

I pulled up when a lorry driver (without his trailer) jumped out and started to fill with diesel.

After he had reset the pump twice and the bills was already £270, I decided to jump out and have a chat, nice bloke and he told me that he had 2x500 fuel tanks on his truck !!

He kindly moved aside for me to fill up about 80L and I thanked him ! Top lorry driver !!

Anyway.....1000 litres !!!! Is there anything bigger on the road, that can take more ?!?!?!?

I have 1300 litres of veg oil in my shed. Its not until you actually start to move it in 25l tubs you realise how much it actually is.
