And it's probably shightly cheaper.

On a similar note, how much is a litre of tractor petrol in France these days?
No idea, problem is getting somewhere..

We're bringing some extra gallons of tractor diesel, costed us € 0,65 a liter. If someone wants some for a genny, no prob wtih that. It's not allowed in cars, it's marked. But that is up to the owner of the car ofcourse. ;) Normal diesel is €1,20

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

We've been having our le mans meeting tonight via MSN, working out approximate costs.

We're not sure about the genny though, it's mainly to power our fridge, and maybe charge phones, cameras , laptops etc.

Bearing in mind we're there from Tuesday, how much roughly do you think fuel will be, for a 600w generator, I believe.

And don't forget a few quid for your 2-stroke oil (thats if its a two stroke one which it souunds like it is at 600w) We ran one nearly all day last year and it used about 1 to 1.5 gallon petrol a day. A small price to pay for a cold beer.

We had one running all day last year for lights radio and fridge and used just under 2 gallons a day.

The genny should be in fine fettle after a full winter service by myself even though I'm not going but hey.

As for carrying petrol those red wine barrels the five litre ones are perfect for collecting genny petrol from arnage by push bike just cable tie it to handle bars works great
