new storage regulations

[Steve]

I use red diesel in my tractors, and I keep a good stock of it. Diesel ( and petrol ) is the bargain of all time - in an engine it can do a stunning amount of work.

It's been calculated that one barrel of crude oil, cracked into fuels, can do as much work as a man working 40 hours a week for 11 years.

This does not surprise me. My van, for example, can move a 2 ton load 40 miles in one hour on one gallon of diesel. Imagine how long it would take you to push that load 40 miles. Imagine, too, how far that one gallon of diesel could move the load if it was powering a small single cylinder engine and trundling along at 5mph. You could travel hundreds of miles at that speed, on £5 worth of diesel.

Absolute bargain.
