I'm moving house tomorrow, the place I'm buying has very little oil left in the tank. I need to top it up just to get me through till Tuesday, can anyone advise where I can go to get some heating oil kerosene 28??

We are desperate! Around either West Midlands or Shropshire

Try these chaps. With heating oil orders though it's a minimum of 500 liters and they may not be able to deliver in the timescale you're looking at but that would go with pretty much any oil supplier. As for just popping out for a few jerrycans worth of the stuff though to tide you over, I'm really not sure you'd be able to do that. Feel free to prove me very wrong though 🙂

Some garages sell it by the litre, may be your only way - google.

How about not running the heating - ours is pretty much off now. I'm sure you'll have an immersion for hot water.
You could also have a look in the tank and see how much is there - we use about 11L/day during the winter.
Don't let it run out though unless you want to become well acquainted with bleeding the pump (don't ask me how I know..... but I'm good at it now!)

To be honest you're much better off finding out who the local suppliers are and dealing with them direct, this way you are more likely to get an emergency delivery if the need arrises - I've always got a better price than boilerjuice could come up with. Their website is handy for quickly seeing the price trend which helps when planning when to buy.

This.

We've two local suppliers, and when we're down to 200 litres (its a 1200 litre tank) I just call them both up and ask the price.

Boiler juice pray on the lazy

They are no where near the cheapest they are just resellers

Local suppliers all trump boiler juice - guess who makes the delivery and everyone wants a cut !
