Dipped?

Hi gang...... My first post, I've read the whole thread and its really interesting! My next door neighbour makes bio-diesel which might be handy although I like th idea of using an SVO/Diesel mix.
My question is (being your typical screw the government outlaw type) has anyone on here ever been "dipped"? I know it happens to commercial vehicles all the time but I don't know of anyone with a private vehicle thats ever been pulled over and the tank checked! Of course I would never break the law by dodging fuel duty but I'm curious to how often people get "pulled" and how the "law" proves acase against you!!
cheers....................wide y

Cooking oil based on soya oil is cheap at Makro - just less that £9 for 20L. I presume that that will do fine! Does anyone know different?

I've been using the makro stuff for about a year - no probs.
It is easier to pour if you take the plastic container out of the cardboard box and fit some kind of flexi spout - the sort you get with 5litre jerry cans.
when filling I locate the spout and begin to pour, then using a stanley knife, slash a wee slit in the top of container (to allow air to replace the oil in container) to stop the glugging. the whole container empties in about ten seconds!
I use two of these boxes when the tank is almost empty (before fuel light comes on) then top up with derv about 10 litres. gives me a ratio of 80/20 svo/derv.

a box is 20 litres - and in answer to another question - yes you have to be a member. I'm a member of both costco and makro - but makro is closer.
