Whenever possible, the Kon-tiki fills up at one of hundreds of Tesco petrol stations and run on Tesco diesel. It’s often cheaper than many places and has the added advantage of the Clubcard points. We use these points to whisk the motorhome through the channel tunnel. Click here to read our guide to crossing the water with Tesco Clubcard.
Many Tesco petrol stations have access for larger vehicles.
The list below shows the counties of England and the forecourts used by the Kon-tiki and later our Irizar coach conversion. We also with detail of any issues with access. This list is not about parking provisions for larger vehicle in the store car park! The post code of the main store is also shown, along with any other relevant info such as “close to motorway” etc.
