Title: New fuel marker to prevent fraud
Post by: eye30 on February 26, 2014, 17:19:46
A new red dye fuel marker is being introduced by the British and Irish governments to tackle fraud.

The illegal use of cheaper fuel in the UK means criminals avoid paying tax and can sell it on at a lower rate than normal fuel from a petrol station.

The new marker will make it harder for criminals to disguise fuel by removing the red dye.

They show a LPG nozzle, but discuss Red Diesel :rolleyes:
A "Freudian" slip? :undecided:
The use of "Reclaimed Bottle Gas" for LPG in vehicles, also avoids also duty.....
