Hi Guys
I am GATVOL of paying the huge GP prices so looking for a 1000 or pref 2000l bowser so I can send a driver to Kby or Bfn to fetch fuel (R7.80/l) They will not fill my drums like they have been for the last 18'000litres and 10 odd years...

Anyone know where I can get these or have one made which does not cost the same as a second hand windlass... Quotes range from R20K - R62K :shock: :shock: :shock: Second hand is Perfect....

Use the Albat, and you be the driver. Can fill the RV a few times from there. :lol: :lol:

Funny you say that. I have done that a couple times.... when Rand were over R13 a litre...
Albat can hold 1050 liters. @ R7.80 + VAT that = 9070 VAT incl. Fly down to FAKM and back use about 300l thus I "get" 750 litres back to Jhb for around R12.10 /l vs Rand which was R13/l then and I get 3 hrs lekka flying done.... Problem is we are using around 1000l a month and I can get 2500 in vehicle vs 700 for the albat and I can send a driver to do it...
