Any idea @gone what way oil / diesel prices may go , stay reasonable steady or move fairly sharp up hill.just have to fill tanks again, filled all at this time last april as I had access to alot of storage to do me the year.Crude oil prices back a nice bit more, ULSD back under $500/100T after being up to $566 at the start of the month.
Prices at the farm gate should start reflecting that in the next few days.
The place we get the engine oil and utto said it's going up 20%in may carbon tax he said. He said it's the biggest increase in 7 years. We put a bigger diesel tank last week just wondering is there any thing I should put into tank before filling like diptane or any additive its 600gallonAny idea @gone what way oil / diesel prices may go , stay reasonable steady or move fairly sharp up hill.just have to fill tanks again, filled all at this time last april as I had access to alot of storage to do me the year.
Would it be a wise idea to even only put in half the amount this time or go full hog
I was told at motor factors you can throw diptane in when full or any in between just match the percentage to whatever in tankThe place we get the engine oil and utto said it's going up 20%in may carbon tax he said.

I put actioil in the tank before the last fill can't do any harm anyway checked the motor diesel tank and that needs a clean out before I put diesel in it again layer of scum growing in there. Tractor diesel tank was fine but going to check all the fuel tanks now when nearly empty just too be sureThe place we get the engine oil and utto said it's going up 20%in may carbon tax he said.

Of the €0.70c the government takes €0.22c,, the wholesale price ex Rotterdam is about €0.38c leaving about €0.10c for the importer and your supplier.70c/l here near Ardee, oil has dropped a bit even after the cyber attack on the US Colonial pipeline. Hopefully doesn’t climb any more, it’s bloody expensive again
Out of curiosity @gone, is the difference in price between green and road diesel just tax? As in that ex Rotterdam price just for diesel and is it just dyed and rebated when it comes into the country or does it come in as green diesel cheaper? I often wondered while filling diesel who actually ends up with the price difference in their pocket? No hassle if you can’t answer but I’m just curiousOf the €0.70c the government takes €0.22c,, the wholesale price ex Rotterdam is about €0.38c leaving about €0.10c for the importer and your supplier.
Basically yes, but they are slightly different grades of diesel.Out of curiosity @gone, is the difference in price between green and road diesel just tax?

AID Chemicals a company about a mile from me makes the dye for the Diesel.Out of curiosity @gone, is the difference in price between green and road diesel just tax?

Isn't there some sort of a nuclear marker added to agri diesel as well that can't be removed by laundering.AID Chemicals a company about a mile from me makes the dye for the Diesel.
Don't know what they use but yes it's not just dye.Isn't there some sort of a nuclear marker added to agri diesel as well that can't be removed by laundering.
Saying that dumping of the diesel sludge seems to have dried up..Ask around the border area , they seem to have found ways to get rid of whatever goes into it!!
2 cases there recently I read .Saying that dumping of the diesel sludge seems to have dried up..
Didn’t see that thought it had settled2 cases there recently I read .
Can't understand how nobody is ever at these places when there raided or ever charged.
Often wondered do they really want to find anyone's
You don't hear about it much but it must be starting up againDidn’t see that thought it had settled
There was still the same profit to be made form laundering diesel, it is just based on the difference between green/red and auto, which is all tax and doesn't really change no matter the price of wholesale diesel.Strange article though, headline is two plants uncovered in Louth and the article goes on about Monaghan last year, seems a bit sensationalist. Oil was cheap last year so diesel laundering wouldn’t have made a lot of sense..!
