One of my mates has decided to run his car on this stuff.

What are the chances of the police pulling him and what kind of trouble would he get in?

Most of my farming friends have been dipped at some point, fairly routine for people in that trade. Depends if there are any clues that you're running it. The fines are high though. He's better with bio.

Fair enough. It just looks like any other car though so didnt think he would get pointed out for it.

Does it sound different running it, or smoke more?

That's good, ours sells it at 80. Some places are £1.20 apparently, hardly worth it
