Re: [diesel_mercedes] All this talk about diesel

 

Many of the farmers in Ireland do this; they even drive their tractors around the small villages. Over there, and in GB, there are big fines for driving with anything but taxed fuel. The authorities calculate the tax owed based in the mileage of the car, from what I have heard, they randomly "stick" diesel passenger autos. At one point a few years ago, it was cheaper to buy fryer oil in the supermarket than to buy oil at the "gas" station, so many people did this...it was a big story in the British press.
 
Now here's my plan.  Buy a nice tractor, something with 4 wheel drive, if you live where it's needed ,enclosed cab with AC and all the other stuff they load on to impress farmers and drive that.  Your red fuel should then be legal.  You can plant a few petunias and a cornstalk or two to qualify as a farm.

Anyone heard of green diesel which is what is at the pump yes right, now how about red diesel? I was offered a cheap price per gallon, but as far as they explained to me is that it is agricultural diesel only for that type of machinery not for highway use? What is anyones take on this

Listen to Steffen.  It is illegal to use untaxed fuel on the roadway, and if you are caught, you will more than pay for your "savings" in a hefty fine.  If you want to save on fuel costs, there are some extremely knowledgeable people on here who can point you in the right direction with regards to making/mixing your own fuels.

Greg, when I joined the forum about 6 years ago, the this was the topic I remember being discussed. Supposedly, the green stuff is for off road use and the  red stuff is home heating oil; from what I understand both are untaxed.
