Biodiesel that isnt dyed can be had for 54p per litre if you buy it for certain uses i.e heating systems. However it is identical to the biodiesel used in your car.

just need to find someone who will supply it to you.

Not just shafted. It's classed as tax evasion.

Car gets crushed

I know my friend runs his 4x4 on red. They can tell by the colour of the exhaust tip if it's been run on red for ages or sumat like that. So he does 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

Your more likely to be dipped if you work on a farm, or in a trade that uses red.

not true steve, I have a 100 litre drum of biodiesel for industrial use here, its identical IN EVERY WAY to the biodiesel I use in my car. it comes from the same supplier in the same barrels with the same ID labels on. just one of the invoices is labeled 'for industrial use only not for use in a roadgoing motorvehicle'
