Avgas supply

Postby ke25sr » Mon Aug 10, 2009 9:09 pm

I have been calling around a few places for supply of bulk Avgas, 205ltr drums.

if any one has a solid contact or company who i can open a cash account with for a good flow of fuel please let me know.

Thats what i do at moment, but we may be using it far more often now and cant drive 30 mins to airport to fill a bunch of 20's every week or 2,

so i would prefer 205's that i can have deliverd to the workshop.

We used to just call Shell (the No. on the back of my shell fuelcard) and it could be shipped to us. Maybe you should call BP and see if they'll do the same?

We have an aviation card and get it direct from the pump at the airport.

a long way up here, but if you bought an empty 205 up we could fill it.

What do you pay for avgas at the airport down there?

If you'r getting 205l at a time we could possibly do a decent price.

PM if it's something your interested in and i'll get a price.

Mini Tankers 0800 111 666 do it and last time i checked it was cheaper than 98 per litre

im fairly sure they have a franchise in dunnas

my old man owns a franchise up in chch and could organise is for you id imagine, you have to be a member of a car club to be able to take delivery tho.

its called shell 100 plus, same as they have at ruapuna

I see your in Welly thats what I do aero clubs the problem being there all robbers down at Rongotai there the 2 aero clubs charge $2.60 at one and down the road at the other its $2.30 one is Shell the other BP I don't no how that effects the price though 30c a litre difference and there 100 metres away from one another.The cheapest I have found in the WGTN area is Paraparaumu Airport that was $1.95 a litre but I just end up going to the aero clubs as I live closer.
