    Hate to say this but he did ask and you agreed and if ever in doubt ask the big question first instead of later - HOW MUCH?

    Dude, don't ask for him to fill tanks. Ask for an amount of oil in money. :(
    That is a tough break. Your tanks must be huge!

    Im going to guess here and say that they must be either a 1000l and a 1500l or else 2 x 1200l

    On the plus side, you're insulated from rising oil costs for a while!!

    But what happens is oil costs go down...:) I no its very unlikely but with this chaps luck you never know.

    I have never used oil and was wondering how long it would take to use 2450l...?

    Wow. Thats serious.

    Sure the neighbour hasn't got a pipe in the tank :D

    A new boiler or at least a decent service needed
