i have a red diesel tank but it was pointed out recently that it is illegal to use unless for agricultural use. so unfortunatly i no longer use in chippers or tractor. the rules are really tight now and its not worth getting caught. if anyone can tell me different or a way around this i would be most gratful.

Do any of you buy diesel in the big drums as I have need of I new supplier but have never bought it this way before so need prices etc

 

We use a place called husks, it's a lorry industrial estate/compound. They have variouse lorry companies that use it, they have pumps some that are for white and some that are red.

 

We use 25l drums, fill them up pay with the card and off we go.

See if there are any around?

 

As for not being allowed to store the diesel in a tank. Rubbish, anyone can buy red diesel and store it. It's not illegal to buy it or have it delivered.

 

It is illegal to not have the correct tank if it is being delivered, it must have a sump under it that must have one and a half the capacity of the tank so that if the tank breaks it can catch the diesel and stop contamination of environment.

 

The delivery driver can reject delivery if he is not happy with the tank.

you can use as much cherry in your chipper a you like, its classed as plant, you cant use cherry in anything you DRIVE on the road, except where exemptions apply, and arbroculture isnt one of them, as for storagecheck your local planning dept and what it says for heating oil storage, and thats what you install....your cherry is for your heating boiler, isnt it! use the rules the numptys make to your advantage, dont fight them
