I know Lymington is out of southampton water but I beleve that Lymington yacht Haven is open 24 hours for fuel !!! You would have to find the night watchman.

I called around today... port hamble is open till about 4:30, moodys boat yard is open until sunset - which is where I ended up going today - pain as its 30 mins up the river at 6 knots

In Portsmouth Harbour at clarence dock there is a pontoon which is open 24/7 365 days a year i know its a hike but handy to know should you be over this way.

The fuel pontoon at Camper and Nicholsons is 24/7 (pompey Harbour, just downstream of Clarence Yard, but you need to check your filter quite regularly if your going to use them!

To use the 24 hour facility you have yo have an account set up and then you self serve on tyhe pontoon by swiping your card.

Ben why dont you just take the fuel to the boat in some jerry cans and use a Fullers Fueller (jiggle syphon) to transfer it, It's a lot cheaper and easier.

I've got one you can borrow if you want to try it out
