Hi all
Would ask your advice please on the following, although not strictly a H&S issue. We have been approached by a company telling us we could save X amount a year by using red diesel in our two forklift trucks. We travel less than 1000yrds between our two building daily at least 3-4 times a day. Everything that I have found tells me not to use it although the company are saying we would be ok. Everything I have read tells me that if the journey between the buildings is regular then red diesel cannot be used. Has anyone else come up against this before. I am holding out on this because it does not feel right to me. I have two directors wanting to save the cash but I am fully aware that once that red diesel goes in the tank it will always register if tested by the Police or Customs and Excise.

Any help greatly appreciated.
