I wonder how long it'll be before people start putting red in their tanks. I've got hundreds of litres of that and a van fuel tank with the fuel light on. All stations in our town are out.

It's madness, I was talking to a lass who works in the local Tesco filling station, she said they don't know when their next delivery will be because the tankers are being sent to the bigger stores... brilliant if you are miles away from them.

Veg oil is about £1 a litre…
Plenty of that if it comes to it.

Local Esso garage has a delivery at 22:00-00:00 so I'll fill up on the way to work tomorrow. Perhaps I'll drive a little more economically than usual 😬

I have 250 gall of red for wor tractors.(I checked)

BUT will only tap in, and obviously declare so to HMRC, if clear diesel or petrol for the Rav 4 are unavailable.

Anyway, we seem to be OK here in NI. , so far  .  .  .

If required J to keep going as a business I’d not bat en eyelid. To be honest I’ve not seen Commissioner’s on the road or a checkpoint since the start of the covid farce.
