Blackbart Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Vosa have been know to randamly select diesel vechiles from dvla data base and knock the registered keeper up at stupid oclock & dip the tank. Everything from a fiesta to a tranny. Yep had this done years ago.Saturday morning 8 am landrover pulls up and 2 blokes flashing i d badges saying they had come to test my diesel. Bizarrely enough there was a check and dip set up near newcastle airport on thursday afterenoon. Plod pulling cars on A69 and leading them up to check at layby. Mostly HGV from what i could see.

I never thought they would go to these lengths. Just out of interest, was it totally random when they checked your vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark@mbb Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you go to an agricultural market they are normally wandering around the carpark dipping cars & vans at random Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbart Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I never thought they would go to these lengths. Just out of interest, was it totally random when they checked your vehicle? I had just bought the pick up for work and from what i could gather the reg was passed to them from DVLA .Dont know why as they wouldnt say but must have been some kind of marker on the vehicle. They said it had been on red in past as there were traces showed up and they would come back and check it again, but never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWD Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) If I remember correctly the IRA used to clean diesel with cat litter filters....probably still goes on today so the claim back tax idea would put an end to all this surely..

BRNDL Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 So, after more than a year of this threads inception, I am still yet to have my tank dipped, or see any road side operations. Anyone had their tank dipped since December 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the Mrs to ring VOSA and report you for running your vehicle on red, That way you will get dipped and as your getting "dipped" you could make note's even capture the process on video, plonk it on YT so all can see, then maybe your appetite for dipping will be sorted and 12 month old threads can sleep. ;-) Its raining, stuck in board :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Bottom line is - are you an honest citizen worthy of being trusted with a firearm or are you a criminal? I can't quite believe just how many people think this is acceptable. Tax evasion, fraud - nothing less. I agree with you entirely on this point... People who deliberately use red diesel like swiss tony and BRNDL up in deliverance land, are ripping me off and I want to the mods to divulge their name and address so I can shop them and the rest of the villagers using red and commence legal action to recover the tax I've paid.....stupid inbreds Edited February 11, 2014 by Fisherman Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, where does it state that BRNDL uses red diesel in his car? Your post did make me smile though, and I thank you for that.
