Tractors of course are in hibernation during the bleak months because of this very danger.
We have a couple of tractors in the yard, the only time they move in the winter is to get it in the shed to service & re-paint.

Just in case anyone is bonkers enough to try it!
"Red diesel. One other word of warning. If anyone is thinking of buying "cheap" diesel, don't bother. It is more than likely rebated or red diesel that has had the dye stripped out. Forget all those fanciful tales of pouring it through fuller's earth to remove the dye, it's just not true. What they actually use is Oleum (fuming sulphuric acid) & cat litter (the active ingredient contained in it, that neutralises the smell of cat urine also does wonders at removing dye), lime or cement powder, then filter it again thru cotton wool or a one micron industrial steam filter. This not only strips the dye but also all of the lubricity agents and all the other additives that are added to DERV, anti-wax & anti-foam. The resultant toxic sludge is then dumped at the side of the road, with all the resulting environmental impacts. Oh... and because red diesel has a different SG to DERV, the hygrometer trick still works equally as well. Most HM C&E roadside testing (dipping) used to be done with a clear squeegee bottle and a pipe, they would simply take a sample from your tank, look at the colour, either nick you on the spot or put it back in the tank and let you go on your way. But now they have very neat, small portable mini labs to test your DERV at the roadside. Kerosene (28sec oil) is commercial/home heating oil which is known as 'kero' or 'paraffin'. It is straw/orange in colour, very clean burning (has a very low sulphur content) and economical to use, however it contains no lubricant and is thus not suitable as fuel for engines. Even when mixed 50/50 with DERV, HM C&E roadside checks can still detect it, using their new high-tech mini labs. "
There's an ancient A4 over here which I believe is driven by one of the McCain brothers.There isnt many people with red diesel now so no point testing it at the roadside. One of the lads here uses all sorts of
oil engine used & cooking oil mixed with whatever he can get his hands on, its a vw golf & it reeks
I tried to get a pic when he was in front of me but he buggered off like puff the magic Dragon on cocaine
I got it when we had a digger working on our land in France. No probs just took a 20 litre jerrycan to a fuel station that flogged it, which has gone now. To be sure that we didn't have any left over I had to give the digger white diesel the last day or so.There isnt many people with red diesel now so no point testing it at the roadside.

We should just scrap councils and just let the gov manage it all.. would be very interesting to see what happensWhat's with councils going bankrupt!? It's bad enough paying taxes as it is, not sure I'd be very happy to pay if the council was up the wall

From yours turn left at Tarbet hotel keep going for a few hours.Where's the sneckie.
I just Googled it and the "sneckie" is another word for Inverness, usually. So how you'd get to it going left at Tarbet I don't know, unless you came to the hotel from Inverary direction.From yours turn left at Tarbet hotel keep going for a few hours.
