There was a fuel crisis when we lived in Edinburgh. Police had set up roadblocks to test fuel for cars running on red diesel. They took a sample about a pint, tested it, then put it into jerry cans. I was convinced they were getting a supply of fuel for their own vehicles.
Although my car was petrol they still insisted it was tested, but I stood my ground and argued that there was nothing wrong with it, and it was my fuel, and we were having a crisis. It took a bit of persuasion, but back into my tank it went.
I am now convinced today`s fiasco was the government`s ploy to get more revenue in before the end of the finacial year.
Take care
