I was looking for my next drop on an industrial estate earlier this afternoon and a lorry pulled up by the side if me asking could I spare him two bottles of my diesel?? Seemed dodgy as hell too me. If id said yes I would have thought he would have tried to rob me or something!

I would have said yes you can have some of this lovely red coloured stuff then phoned HMRC so they could tank dip him

Take the opportunity to ask for a refund on that lucky heather you bought once.

Where was this?
Was he Scouse with a ginger beard?
I was taken in with this when I was 21 and as green as grass.
I was sat on Hamilton msa in my Sed Atk when 2 guys came over and gave me a sob story about running out of derv in their van and could I spare them a gallon.
One kept me talking while the other drained God knows how much fuel out of my tank with a high speed pump.
Thankfully there was no electronic stringent fuel checks in those days.
I learned a valuable lesson that day.

Exactly the same happened to me when I was a novice. Funny thing is he came back at 2am knocked on my door and gave me the whole sob story again not realising he’d already swindled me! At least I got to tell him to ■■■■ off

Also to me down in Sth Wales (so expected) likewise the high speed pump but I noticed his fuel gauge was full so pulled the pipe out and left. Was supposed to be a secure truck park with a security guy on the gate, perhaps he was also in to the swindle …

Question: When HMRC tank dip you, if you’ve got say 5-10% of your fuel as “red”, then is that a strong enough concentration for it to be picked up with their test?
Are they after those completely taking the ■■■■ with a full tank of cherry, or can they actually tell if someone has even had cherry in that tank at any point, from the slightest dilution?

Draining the tank and flushing it out with a tank of white diesel, you are running clean again.
Mechanics at alpha LSG have to drain tanks every other day, when drivers fill up white diesel trucks with red.

I think most of us probably got caught once we were young and stupid. Bloke was in a Vauxhall Carlton, with a women he claimed to be his Wife whom he needed to get to hospital , I offered him a Tenner, but he says there’s no where near to buy any diesel mate, so I let him have some diesel. Out the boot comes a pipe with a hand pump on it
, I started to wonder then
and stood by as he started pulling diesel out, then I said that should be enough and pulled the pipe out of the tank whilst he saying I need more mate
I was annoyed with myself for ages afterwards, but its all a learning curve
I too have been pumped by hand back in my novice days.
Usual story Shamus pulls alongside “Can I buy £5 of diesel off you driver, to be sure etc”.
Of course you can I said and he proceeded to hand me a fiver then attach a hand pump from my tank to his.
Anyway 10 minutes later he buggered off and with a shake of the hand and a wiggle of his lucky charms our goodbyes where exchanged.
What was strange was that I’m sure I had more fuel than before so reckon he had the pump in backwards.
Anyway lesson learned.
[Apologies to our Irish readers for my blatant stereotyping]
Had one of our Irish friends try it with me at junction 24 at Bridgewater. Had a girl in the car with him said was his Mrs and they were on holiday and only had euros so could I spare them some diesel. Thing is they were in a petrol car, he started to get quite aggressive when I asked him if he thought that I was born yesterday. Soon buggered off when I said I was calling the police though.
stereotypes work well as thats what they are.
just look for them on youtube and they are all exactly the same…big fat diddycoy wedding,american big fat,all the same,plush the millions of 1 inbred family calling the other inbred family for a fight.( this includes the women and brats)…rte irish tv have scraped well below the bottom of the barrel with a series called… meet the mcdonaghs…cringeworthy and repulsive to watch and just so sad that adolf didnt win.
they all work from the same script and operating practices.
im scottish,now in northern ireland…we have family in sweden,and as soon as they know he is from northern ireland,its assumed he is a gypjop,and he has to explain how he is not.
they are notorious in sweden for doing the same tarmac driveway,roof repairs,selling dodgy cars/vans etc over there the same as over here as hoards of them head there once the snow disapears as the swedes are a more decent bunch than the british and easy pickings for them.
in northern ireland we mostly get them coming over the border on the mooch from the south with faulty tv,s,laptops,and crappy tools and carpets…all sub standard,and always on the knock.if its not that,they try to chap your door with pillows,and cutlery…
my conversations are always as follows.
diddycoy…slabber slabber slabber.
me…whatever it is,i dont want it,…no
diddycoy…slabber slabber slabber…
me…no…go away…
diddy…slabberslabber
me…fxxx off!!!..then repeat .
theres no point in being polite to them,as they will always take advantage and intimidate you…just complete vermin that similar to the axle huggers are quite often immune to prosecution similar to ms bell…

That’s what they like you to believe that once it has been in it is always traceable…it’s ■■■■■■■■, trust me.
I, sorry a mate. ran for ages on red many years ago, (site work) and after a Ministry check with a full tank of white a week or so after, all was well.
