So is this the route stolen red takes or is it being bought "legitimately" then sold on?

So why do they allow a garage to be selling it in the middle of Birmingham and why are C&E not taking the issue up?

 

[Shughie McFee]

was wondering that. don't see many red diesel pumps in rural areas, so why so many in urban areas ? i * think * fishermen can use red.....but birmingham is hardly a fishing port.

Until a couple of years ago it would have been for the Birmingham canal boats. Think they are made to run on white now.

I saw a bit of that and thought if some bloke comes up to me and asks what diesel is going in my truck i would say MYOFB.
Plenty of farmers bending the law on red diesel so keep Schtum

I'd rather the taxi's etc in Brum ran on red than them coming and nicking mine.

Hope they've got plenty of fuel filters to hand, current shite state of red diesel

Disagree. Tax evasion is illegal and nobody should condone law breaking.
