moral obligation
lambert:
i am aware of a person whom is running their motor on a combination of cooking oil bought in bulk through a food supplier paid at trade price and on cherry diesel bought for cash through a shoot. i find this leaves a bad taste with me when said person brags about not paying even a quarter what i do for my fuel.
as such i feel obliged to report them to the authorities, but who should i tell? would hm customs be better or is it a matter for the police?
don't get me wrong i don't like paying what i do for my fuel to our corrupt system but by the same token if i have to pay then i would like it better if those around me did too.

Well it isn't illegal to use cooking oil in your motor but red diesel certainly is illegal unless its registered as a farm vehicle, I'm sure H M Customs would be interested in it.

That's where I'd start.
lambert:

You can use up to 2500 litres a year without attracting tax but you should keep all receipts to prove your usage.
