The last owner of our hovel was paying £105 a month to Calor for the 'privilege' of using their tank.
Needless to say the first thing we did was got rid of it and had a nice little oil fired boiler installed to run the CH.

Some around here runs his oil burner heating on veggy or rape oil that failed quality tests or was tainted, maybe you can find a similar free source in your area?
