There's a garage near me that sells red, and I was there this morning getting my MOT done. I couldn't believe how many people were pulling up and filling plastic drums

Talking to the guy that owns the garage, he reckons loads of people are at it now, especially in these hard times. He said Customs & Excise used to sit across the road taking number plates, but even they don't bother now.

I don't know of anyone else that sells it- how much is it normally then?

Listen to what Vogue said, it's a scarily true  2008 MY Supercharged
Rimini Red / Jet

remote park heater
and no ugly kid windows.

I'll "third" what Vogue said.

I've been pulled over before by Customs and VOSA at a check point. They take a sample on the roadside and do you then and there.

There used to be a regular trap on the A460 at Featherstone and one on the A52. They'd pull any truck or car that looked like a diesel and test it.

I may be wrong, but I have heard that the forensic markers they put in red diesel (you can't just filter out the dye anymore!) can be persistent in your tank for a long time. They don't need a full tank to nick you, just evidence that you've used red diesel at some time.

I suspect that they'd have a weak case if they found "evidence" of previous use. What about if like me, you've just bought the car? Who's to say that someone before me hasn't used it?

You're probably right, but you wouldn't have much of a case if you'd owned it from new!
