I filled up at the weekend and the cashier handed me my receipt. I asked her where my other bit of paper was and just looked blank, I then explained that I was expecting a share certificate. :mrgreen:

I think it was/is legal to put 10% paraffin in your derv, it stopped it waxing up in the winter.

Try it and see. If customs and excise confiscate your vehicle and crush it, then the answer will be no. :twisted:

Heating oil and red diesel contain chemical markers which customs check for if they suspect these fuels are being used on the road. These fuels are sold strictly for non road use.
