Forklifts using 50% more clear diesel than they did on red?

[twistedhicap]

All diesel supplied in the uk has to be EN580 base stock fuel the dye and any additive package are added at the refinery or the terminal where tankers fill, this brindle said I have seen somewhere that different base stock fuels from different crude oil stocks will perform differently ! 
 

Basically a bulk oil tanker will deliver base stock refined Diesel fuel to EN580 low sulphur spec to the terminal and then it is either dyed and shipped out or also has additives added such as anti foaming or lubricity enhancers and a percentage of biofuel either methyl ester or Fatty acid derived fuel from animal fats etc !
 

the Biofuel can cause issues as it’s very good at cleaning things like tanks etc and then the muck it’s moved has nowhere to go except to plug filters etc ! 
 

I know many people who now only order either HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) or GTL (Gas To Liquid) fuels which do not promote bug growth and are also both cleaner burning and long life fuels !

Yeah.

 

Many scams depend on the co-operation of one person on either side of the transaction, delivery driver and person in charge of receiving delivery, don't ask me how I know.
