Bush Tucker Man:
'Red' diesel smell completely different from normal 'white' diesel?

Is it due to the chemical markers that are in it, the dye, or simply a smell added (like to household gas supplies) to simply give an immediate "Investigate Me!!" scent if the (illegal) user is stopped & dipped.


I've got a fuel can of it that I use to clean/lubricate the chains on my bikes* & just got to pondering that question.

Plus, even when only buying (it was about) 4 litres, I was asked why I wanted it & the reason wrote down in a sales register.
I didn't know they were that keen!!


*I used to use 'white' for this purpose, but had used it all up over the past few years (& too damned expensive)

You'll probably find that it is the same dye that turns up in various foodstuffs!
