This probably wont apply to most of you on here, but the people who run diesel cars - would you run your car on pink diesel? You know, the same stuff boats run on. So tempting at 30p a litre, but naughty.

some bird at school did it, because she lives on a farm, but when the car went in for a MOT the pink diesel dyed the engine a pinkish colour and they reported her/family in

I think she got fined pretty badly though...something like a grand or something silly

Got shed loads of the stuff... Live on a farm... But a) I don't, and probably never will own a diesel, and b) it stains a part of the engine and when it comes to MOT time they check it...

How often do u get pulled ? In my 12 months driving i've not once been pulled and almost hit 2 Police cars

It would be tempting if i had a diesel at 30p a litre.

Anyone who knows what they are looking for. It's pink for a reason, so that it PERMENANTLY dyes your fuel system, it cannot be cleaned off...

I'm not sure what parts though. I was told this by me mechanic. I'm guessing parts like the fuel filter and fuel lines e.t.c... Not sure where the look, but apparently they check for it...

I remember when I was with my ex, him and the lads used to go to dark dodgy places with gallon drums filling up their cars... I used to be like WTF are you all doing. Now I know !!

My mate works at a marina aswell so can get it for around 20p a litre. That means a full tank is around a 10er. It feels so right, but feels so wrong

Or you could fill your car up with aviation fuel (avgas). That is genuine RON 100 fuel

It costs about £1 per litre though

You can run jet engines on diesel... I wonder if you could run a diesel on jet fuel?
