  1. Playing devils advocate here for a moment - what about if you had the scenario where a garage hened up the deliveries and had petrol pumped into the red diesel storage tanks. An MV owner then took the contaminated fuel off the garages hands and ran it in his vehicle for a show where the C&E people dipped the tank.

     

    Would he get nicked???

     

     

     

    Your talking about contaminated fuel?? legally they have to it disposed by a licenced contractor.. not give it away to MV owners :whistle:

  2. Can you use red diesel if you only use the vehicle off road like at shows etc and not on the road at all ?.

     

     

    According to the chap I was speaking to, NO only if it's being used for agricultural use, that's why they are visiting so many shows to dip the tanks..

  3. Yes , I've heard some stories of checks being made on vintage tractors whilst on display at a show and use of red diesel not being permitted because that doesn't actually constitute agricultural use . Am I right in thinking that there are restrictions on the distance you can travel if you're taxed agricultural ?

     

     

    I was talking to a chap the other week, he restores tractors & told me it's illegal to use red diesel in them as they are no longer used for agricultural use & that it's not uncommon for tanks to be dipped at shows..

    The Alvis Stalwart

    Made in 1970 this was an amphibious 5 ton capacity high mobility cargo truck designed to carry fuel and ammunition in support of the Chieftain tanks. Unfortunately they had a tendency to sink and catch fire and their amphibious capability was disabled part way through their life as it was considered too dangerous to operate. Their mechanical complexity was also a problem with frequent transmission breakages when used for longer distances on the road. It did though have very good off-road ability.
