Neighbour had a delivery of heating oil last week, driver put it in our Gas oil tank!! They have only just realised. It will make a 50% mix. What damage will it do to an engine? We have certainly filled a JCB loadall, not sure if a Massey was filled before or after delivery.

Got about 2000 litres of summer grade red in a gravity fed steel tank , overestimated required to finish season . Added a litre of antiwax several weeks before cold spell, just had minus 3 to minus 5 for 4 days ish. What's chances of it being OK in spring. Got another litre of anti wax in...

Cold weather is playing havoc with diesel filters on tractors. Spent a small fortune this week keeping the forklift and two tractors going, each has had new genuine filters fitted. I was wondering what non genuine filters people are using and are some better than others. Rarely seems to get...

Probably been mentioned before Talking with local plant contractor yesterday.. twice stopped to check colour of fuel in tank he was ok.. from next year there will be no more red also no more creosote

Hi folks. Got some combi drilling todo for a new customer and wondering about how to price it. He wants a set price and is saying that he normally pays £25 an acre. I’ve told him fuel is ridiculous and parts are a lot of money now so it’s going to be more than that. Fields are 5-8 acre on a hill...

Maybe the Govt should wake up to the fuel crisis esp diesel Ration domestic fuel to Stop the public wasting fuel on days out at the seaside , holidays abroad etc Tell public to turn their heating down Prioritise military and farmers and haulage without food to eat , the means of getting food...

Is anyone using the hvo fuel?

Got a new Bateman RB35 last autumn which had fuel problems right from the word go. 4 sets of fuel filters in the first 20 hours were needed to make it run. Put it down to colder weather waxing the fuel even though the fuel had winter additive in it and the sprayer is always stored in an...

Hi all, I was just after a few opinions regarding a problem I've got with my Ford Ranger. I feel like the dealer and Ford are taking the mick, but I aren't getting anywhere. It came up with a "Powertrain malfunction / reduced power" message in July, so took it to the dealer who said it needed...

My new Valtra specifies EN590 fuel, will any red diesel from the usual suppliers meet this? As far as I can see EN590 is white road diesel. Some suppliers just add a dye. On phoning around most suppliers can't tell me what exactly is in their red diesel! Is A2 sufficient. Handbook says 0-8%...

Sorry if this has been posted before. With the construction industry losing red diesel, what will be the situation in 2022 regarding highway maintenance etc such as hedge trimming , snow clearing etc, which is OK for farmers to do at the moment without flushing tanks. Cant see many farmers...

Is the red diesel fit for purpose with modern engines ? We are double filtering and still changing filters at half the stated service interval. Sorry not interested in David Browns etc

What an absolute breath of fresh air to read an article like this in this week's Money Week. The author has simply stated the actual facts instead of the utter crap that we're all used to. Not a single mention of faming never mind livestock and methane.

Are there any users of the GTL fuel and is it worth the extra cost please

Who else is having red diesel fuel problems just now ? How can these fuel firms get away with putting this stuff in fuel blocking filters very premature. I have heard mentioned of an additive to put in holding tank . Anybody shed any light on subject?

Have had a fuel drop last week and am struggling like mad to get it out of the tank at a sensible flowrate. Apparently biodiesel inclusion rate has gone up from 5% to 7.5% since the start of October. It is an absolute nightmare . New filters are only lasting one day . Am trying to source a...

Had a problem with a new tractor throwing diesel codes. Changed filters and the inline filter was full of sludge. Even since servicing, it blocked again. Approx year old plastic tank with filter so not necessarily dirty diesel blocking filters but on reading up I wondered about too much of this...

Anyone else had trouble with red diesel. Reported on Farmers Weekly the other day https://www.fwi.co.uk/news/environment/farmers-struggling-with-diesel-quality-problems We've had low pressure fuel filter error codes come up a couple of times on a Massey. Friend phoned up tonight he's got fuel...

Apologies if I've missed this being discussed already but how many people have had diesel (filter) issues this autumn? Fairly widely there have been a lot of people having problems with blocked fuel filters particularly with, but not exclusively, Claas combines, JD tractors and seemingly...
