Lol!
Where do you get the stuff anyway?
No intention of using it, just curious.
Thought it was just for agriculture?

Lol madness!
Pretty sure it's just diesel with a dye, but it's cheaper somehow.
Why just give it to the farmers, when they could be using it for the HGV's that practically run the country?
Economy fuck up right there.

Vans are prone to be pulled lately because of the fuel prices.
I can get hold of it for £20 for 25 gallons, but I won't be doing...

It has a much lower rate of tax, if your tank get dipped and red dye is found you will get a fine!

Hence why hardcore cherry users get 2 tanks fitted. One for if they get pulled and the other for driving on. Loads of my mates do it in their landrovers though. Might do it in the merc if i get really strapped for cash lol

Yup, its just standard diesel that has had a dye added. It has a much lower rate of tax on it, used by farmers and its used airside at airports!
