Give your local fuel supplier a try, Rock Oil in Warrington used to give them away if you only wanted one and asked nicely. :wink:

Dependant on where he lives in Leeds, has he tried the smaller suppliers like the one at the end of Fleet Lane (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=438000.999997885&Y=428500.947601965&width=500&height=300&gride=437999.999997885&gridn=428399.947601965&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000) in Woodlesford.
Or Bayford(or is it Thrust?) at Castleford (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=442500.999998251&Y=426500.946700509&width=500&height=300&gride=442599.999998251&gridn=426299.946700509&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000) on Lock Lane.

I'm surprised that no small 'backstreet garage' (for want of a better expression) has any they want to get rid of :shock:

Alternatively, why not try a 'Pikey' site after they've been moved on, there's bound to be one there. Just mind where you're treading :lol:
At least he can collect the LPG cylinders and collect the deposits on them! :roll:

We must dispose of hundreds every month, all 200lt sized metal drums which have contained either resin or solvents. How suitable they'd be for cooking in not sure but can ask  :?:
