Not a lie but an alcoholic mechanic(where I worked) spent a couple of winters trying to get a Victa mower to "go", incl replacing the carb, with a store bought brand new one, etc. etc., no expense spared, & all blythly charged out to the "other" department who owned the mower, and all without any success.

Hi successor, when he found the then by forgotton about mower, first emptied the stale fuel from the tank, it was mostly red diesel.

Doh!

p.s.

I too would have said red diesel.

I get the gist of the story, but what does blythly mean?

I'd be thrilled if I had a saw that ran on diesel but it smells of petrol. I was hoping the colour might be recognised as a common one for two stroke bike fuel or something.
