This group of clowns were using various chemicals to remove said dye, then selling it on at a massive profit whilst fecking up many engines in the process.


fullers earth will remove the dye :wink:


in Ireland, in one case, a pipe was laid from the ROI across the border (a few hundred yards) into another building and the (then) cheaper ROI-derv was being pumped through and sold cheap...

All diesel sold at the pumps contains kerosene (more so in winter) in the blend BUT it has lower energy rating than the gas oil cuts blended with it so running your engine on kerosine will give a much lower MPG
