In an old engine, just run cooking oil, 15p per litre at netto, and smells like a chippy everywhere you go :D Not a serious suggestion, by the way.
Yes as above, your motor would run just as well on red, no difference apart from the colour, be prepared for a visit from somebody after you start buying it, a lot of sellers take vehicle registrations and pass them onto the authorities, to check on whether you are using it in road vehicles
The merest suspsion it has been on the road and you loose the vehicle.
QuoteThe merest suspsion it has been on the road and you loose the vehicle. Nothing new from HMC&E then. I always thought there was something called 'burden of proof' or something.
that there is a burden of proof but it rest with the trader
Red diesel offences are particularly unique in English law in that there is no appeal process.
whats the script with runnin ur motor on old cooking oil as i live next door to a chippy
Great for the farmers round my way then. Many fields are filled with lovely yellow. I like the smell of the fields but the other half doesn't. I think alot of the rapeseed was genetical modified.
If it is found in your tank or fuel supply then you are guilty of the offence.
we are a department of state of Her Majesty's Goverment. As such we enforce the law as it is enabled by act of Parliment. In turn Parliment is constituted of democratically elected members who debate and vote on said acts. Those that acheive a majority vote in favour become law.
I can't see the comparison between the KGB/Saddam Hussein and HM Customs myself
The Lindsey case (more) was important in that it established a number of new points. Firstly it noted that confiscating a car was disproportionate to the nature of the crime. It also established that the Courts have no legal power to force C&E to give a vehicle back or pay compensation, only to review its decision again.
The other little thing that is forgotten is that not only can the customs and excise seize the vehicle, but they can go for the back duty for as long as you owned the vehicle and will investigate other tax issues, :D
