Heard of a few spot checks of late, you may be right.
Also red stains fuel system components, so even if you've used it all there may still be traces in fuel filters, tanks, sedimenters etc.
BK:
yeah,apparently they can still tell after youve put six tankfuls of white in

Plymouth Bio Fuels is the place for veg oil. 64.9ppl & supplied in 20Ltr drums (IIRC it's a £4 deposit on each drums) :afro:
Don't even go Red diesel!
muddyjames:
And watch out for people around you with red diesel when you have asked them to fill up all the machines on site to use up the red diesel and they think you also mean the vans! :shocked: Yes, It has happened to me and they put about 5litres in. Wont be doing that mistake again. will make sure keys for vans are on me so they cant get the fuel caps off!!!
Go veg oil. even after 2500L of tax free you just declare you have gone over and pay the duty on it if needs be.
I have been told I need to keep all reciepts though of the veg oil I buy to prove I havent used more than 2500L. Anyone know if this is true?

It's probably wise. Thing is, both you and they would have trouble proving that those are all your receipts though. I suspect they'd only bother to investigate cases of people obviously making and selling biodiesel as it would be time consuming and costly to chase individuals who are only producing it for personal use.
