Red or white

[DaveDCB]

A simple question. I’m more just keen to see how many folk have genuinely swapped over to white diesel now and those who are sticking two fingers up to it! No need to publicly announce for obvious reasons.
I swapped to white fyi!

 

[Brendan]

Always ran white, mostly for ease and secondly at the time the machines used barely any

White for mini diggers. Large machine rarely leaves the farm and is only on agricultural jobs so Red. The small ones use that little it’s not worth the hassle of not doing. The Hitachi will use 200l in a tough day digging no problem.

White unfortunately

 

[JD450A]

White in the construction equipment, red still in two of the diggers that are used solely for agricultural work. I intend to buy another TB175 this year as it's Proving a pita with one constantly dancing between agri/non agri work.

I used to laugh walking in TP and they sell the site packs of red diesel which worked out more expensive than pump white when you added the vat. Nothing to laugh at now the packs have white in them

A lot of folk seem to be keeping separate machines to run red on Agri work, such a ball ache!!

Thing is there isn't another option bar loosing customers..... A farm or estate will stomach a extra £20/d for a mini on white but a 7t is around £100 a day extra.

What are we calling a 'day' that uses an extra £100!?

A Rory day!

Didnt bother looking at the price last time just noticed its white now

 

[6feetdown]

Full revs by the sound of it

Was thinking more like fuel leak

Anything over a hour

Leaking straight into the pickups tank

What is the cost of red nowadays?

 

[Shovelhands]

Agri/compliant work - fill with red
Non compliant work - fill with white

 

[Shovelhands]

What is the cost of red nowadays?

Was 92ppl last month

So it looks like red is 105p/L and white is 125p/L so 20p/L. £100 divided into £0.20 = 500L of fuel in a day
are you sure them TB175’s are worth it
