Best price for Jet-A1 in the UK?

[Twiddle]

What price are people paying for Jet-A1 and where?

Also, anybody purchasing their own, what sort of price are you paying, for how much, and does this include delivery?

I'm looking at installing a bowser in my field and buying my own Jet-A1, any idea what the requirements for this are, do I need some kind of storage license or can I store what I like provided its in something designed for the purpose?

Also, what about fuel checks for bacterial growth, anybody that stores their own, how often do you check and how, presumably you can buy testing kits?

I was hoping to get a bowser that would hold between 1000 and 2000 litres.

I keep Jet-A1 for an aircraft in a 600gal bowser which i bought from flightline. The bowser is ideal and easy to manouver. There is a drain tap to check for water and the main filling hole is pretty big. Big enough to put your head inside with a lighter to check for fungal growth. (Joke...please don't do that).

It's big enough to open up and put a torch into see for any fungal growth. Doub't you would get that unless you left it stationary for about a year.

I have been researching aviation fuel prices in the US and have found a really great web site. It gives local area and supplier prices and is updated regularly by users. They will also e mail updates if requested, they also include a flight planning program to maximize best prices. I will check to see if the UK is included, and post the site address if yes.
