Safe Use of fuel

In order to keep Falmouth Harbour clean and environmentally safe, our fuel barge adheres to the latest fuel regulations. To find out more about helping us to maintain a clean environment and be a responsible user of fuel.

The standard petrol grade in the UK is E10 and this fuel is dispensed from our fuel barge.  Although the Government has said that E10 petrol is compatible with 95% of petrol-powered road vehicles, it has acknowledged that some older boats with petrol engines may not be compatible with this fuel. The Government has advised that boat owners and operators should check their vessel’s manual or ask the manufacturer or dealer before filling up with E10.
