To buy diesel not from a garage? Reason I ask is I can get it for a £1 a litre off a chap or £800 for 1000L . Is it illegal to buy it?

We buy in bulk at work. 30,000 litres at a time and it works out loads cheaper.

It's legal as long as you pay the duty on it.

Do you know what you are paying. My old haulage company were buying 50k litres, and the savings were only a few pence per litre. Id be surprised to see savings over 10p?

It will, without a doubt be either red or stolen for that price.
For reference, thats the same price a mate of mine paid for 1000l of red diesel.

It will be cheap for a reason. Probably messed with or stolen.
Depends on your ethics tbh.

its stolen. It used to common round this area, guys would drive into garage with a 7.5 tonner with a false floor, with 1000 litre IBC's the driver would get out and go shp around in the garage for several minutes, buy something and get in his lorry and go, in the mean time people connected hoses to the fill up tank points and would pump the diesel away into their empty IBC's.

No, I would put it on an Internet forum if I wasn't sure if it was legal to buy. Same as what's been done.
