I have a 2000 disco auto, previously i had a toyota hilux surf and i ran it on kerasine in emergancies. i was just wouldering if any had run there disco on this at any time. it is 28 seconds the same viscosity as desiel
I had a long conversation with a MOT tester and he said it is almost impossible to trace using the probe that the department of transport use for seeing if you are using cherry![]()

So what about bio fuel?veg oil and whatever else is used in making bio fuel at home. The bloke is extremely knowledgeable but in this free democratic society you are entitled to your opinionAnother So called expert that knows fookall then. The "probe" they use takes a sample of your fuel and runs a sophisticated chemical analysis and can determine the exact chemical composition of your fuel If it doesn't match the composition of Road fuel diesel your in the ****.
Has anybody on the forum actually had a sample of thier fuel taken ? and if so what was done ?
cheers

I have when I lived in Wales. it was quite common to see them stopping & dipping vehicles.
They test for the following chemicals.
If they find these chemicals they know you've had Red diesel, Kerosene or other duty exempt fuel. in your fuel system. you see there not testing to see what fuel your running on. They're looking for reduced duty/duty free fuel, in your tanks. If they find any trace your in the ****e.
- Coumarin a UK marker
- Quinizarin a UK marker
- Solvent Yellow 124, a marker used in all EU Member States.
Your MOT expert doesn't know what he's talking about. Road fuel diesel doesn't have any of these marker chemicals in it. Kerosene does. So how can it be indistinquishable??
Im not debating this either way cus i dont know, but...
What if you bought a vehical that someone has ran on kero and the authorities pick up traces of it in your tank. How would you ever know and how could they take and crush your car if you have never done anything wrong??

all the probe was is a small soft clear plastic bulb with a thin length of pipe with a 1 way valve on the end that they squeeze the bulb and just look at the colour of the diesel that gets sucked out of the tank , they didnt check the chemical properties or even smell it or anything like that and i had stopped using red only 2 tankfulls before .
I've been dipped the same way you have.
You were only dipped cause you was caught in that field with Yella![]()
