OK then boys, we're all set.

Friday morning would work for me.

Bicester is at 1 o'clock to Oxford, about 10 miles N.

I'll have to get a trailer sorted pronto (if we get it!).

Has anyone got an IBC tank connector to stick a hose on for emptying?

Getting exiting now......

Malc (DOLPHIN):
Yes, that should be do-able.
Possibly a cheaper option may be to hire a bigger trailer. Mine will only take a couple of barrels.
Were you thinking of taking your share in the IBC?

It went for £720, >£200 more than our maximum bid.

Thanks for giving it a go though.
Keep your eye's out for more!

I'm in need of methanol and KOH still. Just starting out and have nothing at all.
So if anyone is up for doing an order in the Poole area.......

Shame I'm busy this weekend. Otherwise would do the BBB.

Malc,

Yep, give me a call/text and I'll put the kettle on.
Still plumbing the bits together. But almost there.

Enjoy the weekend. I'm up on a hill, playing with radios. Looking at the forecast, it will be a warm one.

What made you set your price at £520?

Even at £720 for 1900lts it only works out at 38ppl!! Even better value if the IBC's held 1000lts
