may be able to help on straight kerosene as they are the AGA distributors for NZ :)

Re: heating oil
 

don't use kerosene in your "diesel" boiler though as kerosene is more "searching" and may leak from unions/joints - I know of cases where this has caused a fire. :thumbdown:

hi thanks , i emailed a fuel suppier in tauranga and he said the same they do use a diesel mix with kerosene, and its alright for boilers from uk
as they run on kerosene any way

Won't the people taking over your place in the UK notice the boilers missing?:eek:

ha ha very good , if we go i will buy a new one as ours is five years old now
four bed house we only use it for heating use avg winter 1200 liters if its a bit colder 1800 so not to bad

Re: heating oil
 

Ah.... so you will buy new UK and transport to NZ? Choice, savings?

Re: heating oil
 

just think i would get a better deal , can buy job lot ie rads pipe fittings ect
for about £2,000, would buy tank in nz more room in container
but might be just as well have a log burner with a back boiler, my mate has a farm, and he,s got plenty of trees:thumbsup:
