Mobile Optimax ?
Discussion
I was filling the car up last night and there was an Optimax tanker parked next to me in the station. Got me thinking! 
(which can be dangerous)
What if we could hire a small tanker to come to Bruntingthorpe so we don't get all the carfuffle of looking for a petrol station. (lost in Leicester)
I have no idea on the logistics here, but I would have thought Shell would enjoy the publicity
"VMAXers use OPTIMAX" etc
Any thoughts here chaps, or am I 
something ?

I'd be surprised if you could get a tanker to discharge straight in to vehicles.
I know on site they definately won't fill machines/excavators direct from the tanker - it comes out too fast and if you guessed the capacity wrong you'd have a wet fuel boy!
But i'm sure the boys at Shell could come up with a solution - the publicity would be good
It's not normally that difficult to get optimax. The normal one used was closed for refurbishing and it was only the Leicester city council closing roads and not having proper diversions that screwed everything up getting to and from the alternative optimax station.
As for publicity. What publicity aimed at who? It's a private event.

fair point
You know the form. Watched a James Bond DVD, refueled the car. One thinks anything is possible afterwards
I'll get me coat

Its possible. Shady, remember me telling you (during our tour of Leicestershire) that when working in Claifornia the trades men on site got their pick up refuelled by a visiting company owned tanker?
Im sure they must have them over here too. Those smaller ones the military use would probably do it.

sorry chaps, a bit snowed at work or would add some stuff, all points noted, do we really want it to get super commercial ? ? ?
NO , not really. Just an easier, more convenient way of gassing up. As Daz says, that day the problems of a station be refurbished and a road in Leicester being closed compounded the problem.
Hopefully next time it should be alot easier.
4 Gallon jerrycans are only £15 from www.screwfixdirect.co.uk I bring a couple to each trackday to save paying exorbitant circuit prices or trawling round the countryside looking for Optimax
Don't forget a pouring spout for £4
