There should be a ticket printed with time, date and quantity that they ought to be able to provide you with.
Saying that I was once told by a contractor that he caught a delivery driver in his yard when nobody was about with the delivery hose running back into an empty tank on the lorry, turned out if there was nobody home he would put x amount in the customers tank then cream off a bit for himself and print the ticket for the full amount.
He never got the chance to do it again with that firm!

Is it not still far too dear from where it should be , compared to white?

Yesterday local garage was around 170 at pumps , so 34p vat , less the 58p road duty plus the 11p red duty , so should red not be around 90p a litre ?

Local farmer was telling me he had been quoted 109 for red yesterday .
Reading your post made me realise government get approx 11p of vat on the duty paid on every litre of roadfuel! 🤦
 
No I mean it happened to me last year. Got a price off certas, delivery end of the week. Phoned the end of the week to find out where the delivery was, only to be told they couldn't do it for the price agreed. Told them we had an agreement, basically said tuff !!! Gave them plenty of foul language to record !
