I have a bunded plastic fuel station that has been used for red. Obviously will make sure it is empty but if I swapped it to white am I going to get any issue with staining?

If its totally drained ,then what little residue is left ,wont make any difference.
If in doubt ,call you your fuel supplier but I hardly think a litre ot two of red into a 1000 of white will dilute down to nothing

I had a tank that was regularly swapped between the two fuels and never was a problem think staining is myth know someone who bought a van that had been on a site on red he converted it back to white
He got pulled not long after he’d got it and was dipped and not a problem
He did say he was panicking for a bit!!!

Surly the delivery tankers swap between red and white all the time. Yes the will have a good system to be totally empty beforehand. I'd run a bit through then fill again once that's used up.

I think theirs knows how much is in the pipe to push the red or white to the nozzle or so I was told!!
