Title: Shellite
Post by Derek on May 29^th, 2008 at 5:55am

Does anyone know if you can buy Shellite in bulk. I use it for my stove and lamp but the biggest container I am able to get it in is 4 litres and it works out at 4.50 a litre.

Derek you can buy Shellite in bulk from a Shell Fuel Depot (not Servo) it is sold in 20L drums and the last drum I bought was around $45 but I don't know what the fuel prices have done to it. :)

Derek was talking to our fuel distributors today (BP) and they sell the same product as Shellite (Shell) but it is called R55 through BP. For 20L it costs about $57.00. I think some distributors will sell it even cheaper if you take your own drum/Jerry to decant into from their bulk supply. ;)

All the best
