Red diesel

--- Quote from: "strapping young lad" ---driving from farm to field is fine but when it comes to contracting, its a grey area, but i think the police leave them alone

Not round here they don't. Tanks are regularly dipped.
strapping young lad:
ah things may have changed from my contracting days then :wink:
i do hear of them dipping the farmer's 4x4's where they take livestock to the market.
personally this hasnt happened to me
btw when u said the fuel is different, i was told the only difference is the dye which is used to differentiate between the two fuels.
muddyweb:
I won't say it with any authority, but I believe they don't mess around with red diesel as much as DERV.
My understanding is that they all come from the same tank but are then doped / treated depending on the customer. So the Diesel from a Tesco forecourt has a different set of chemicals in it than (for example) the BP 'Super-Diesel' stuff.
strapping young lad:
i agree
but the price differs too!
i dont know how much difference these "super" diesels are compared to the run of the mill diesel.
is it worth the extra pennies per litre?
joker777:
I run my dedicated off road shogun on red diesel with no adverse effects at all and i havent noticed a differance in smell or performance either.
It costs me £7 for 25L from the farmer who stores the shoggy.
The truck will never be on the road again so this is perfectly legal.
