I don't know how the best way to approach this would be, but getting advice on your legal obligation would be prudent. It would be fair to both parties involved that their cost be at least covered ie; you pay the wholesale cost of the fuel you used based on the daily rate on the dates of each of your purchases. After all it was likely apparent to you that you were "getting a heck of a good price" which should have led to you questioning the billing. I had a similar situation a few years back with the electric service to my fabrication shop. My costs had never been overly high and were getting somewhat less (figure that out). Finally one day the power company called and asked if I was still using power. I stated "well yes, about the same as I have for years". So she sent out a crew and found my meter had stopped running. A few weeks later they contacted me again to see what we could do primarily to cover the cost of power for 2 months that they had no reading for. So I suggested they average the previous 12 months usage and I would pay the 2 months based on what the per month average was. This worked out ok for both of us. Their fault? Yes it was their equipment that failed. Even if your not legally obligated in your state to pay or at least work out a compromise, It's just good business. The fuel company can put a nasty dent in the fender of your credit report. Even if you dispute it and win, it will cost you way more than trying to work a compromise. And someday you'll be glad you at least tried. As I'm told, at the final judgement your advocate will need more positive material than negative material to work with.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook.
