Diesel Problem...

[CollCrofter]

Since the ferrys are running an emergency timetable, basically freight only and essential travel for locals the fuel company that delivers petrol and diesel to our small community run fuel station can't get a Dangerous Goods booking for nearly two weeks. I have red diesel in my tank but my white tank is bone dry... The pickup is running on air now so the question is... do I or don't I??? Using it for a lot things on the croft just now too. Animal welfare? I imagine me sticking a bit of red in until I can get white wouldn't really be of any concern to the government just now?

I thought no one on the islands used white.
You must be the only one

You keep records of all fills then pay duty later. IIRC there were provisions made to do this before in times where supply was disrupted.

well my farm vehicle has been on red for a week since our local garage went into lockdown, if its a choice between that and giving money to tesco i know exactly where my priorities lie (and those on here who know me, go ahead if it gives you a kick).

Been chucking cherry in the truck for two weeks. B4astards can come and get me if they want but I'm beggered if I'm going to the garage as I'm in the high risk group.

There are well proven ways to handle this , it may even be shown on a government site some where.
Essentially keep a record of all the red you have put in the truck and why.
If you are concerned speak to HMRC
