So you've got to filter it first? And let it stand?
What is needed is a way of taking the dye out of Red Diesel! I usually have a couple of thousand litres in stock.
Tried various filters, none of them have worked. Not sure if cat litter would be any different.???
or ...............just put diesel in it and keep your vehicleIm not sure of the real name for the stuff, its like cat litter, think it might be called FULLERS EARTH. Let me no how you get on and il keep you informed in my experiments

It's used for central heating in France and I also have a stock for my digger and tractor. Trouble is the rural gendarmes regularly check cars and vans for illegal use of red diesel, so can't take the chance.really
Sorry all was meaning to say 110 Defender with 162,000 started at minus 4 on 50/50 svo diesel no worries.
I would not recommend anyone to try this, my personal choice. If it fails I pay, but will keep you all up to date.
That said, all my reasearch says ok at 50/50.
There is a way of doing it... a few that might just work and a few that are just plain bonkers, have you tried cutting the lid off the top of a 205 ltr steel drum then weilding it 8 inches down the barrel with holes drilled in it... very very teeny weeny holes... not forgetting to fit a tap 8 inches from the bottom... then filling the top end with new cat litter... then pouring red diesel in and letting it slowly drain away into the bottom of the drum... not that this is what i do at the boat yard as this would be very illigal
ANOTHER way is to buy foreighn vat fuel that is blue (again died for easy detection) then mixing it with our red diesel, it makes it go clear and for this reason you cant get the foreighn vat free fuel over here.
BASTARDS!!!!!
Old farmer fried told me years ago that he filtered it through a loaf of bread ! Said he dug a hole out of the top and just poured it through.
No idea if it works or if he had maybe been drinking the stuff.
Isn't there some tax issue with using veg oil depending on the amount? I was toying with the idea of starting on straight diesel and running veg oil through a heater to lower the viscosity to resemble diesel. I have heard of white spirit being used as a thinner. Not sure of the % How much petrol is used?
I have noticed a smell of white spirit in some of the "bio diesel"
in Indonesia Borneo and other tropical countries jungle has been ripped out and there are a lot of palm oil trees but Ive heard that palm oil is not suitable for running diesels on anyone know anything about it?
