Talk:Fuel dye

Untitled

Can anyone tell me what date 'red diesel' started to be dyed in the UK? I'm building a model based in the 1950s and 60s and wondered what colour any spillages should be. 66.117.193.162 13:24, 17 May 2006 (UTC)David Barham

Interesting fact:

In Hungary in the 90s, the organized crime took serious (millions in USD) profit from counterfeiting diesel oil. They modified a dark colored low-tax oil with sulfuric acid into a yellow oil, looking like a high-tax diesel oil, causing damage to engines, and the goverment. The goverment finally solved the problem by raising the tax level of oil... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.56.140.25 (talk) 14:13, 29 January 2007 (UTC).

Proposed merger from Red diesel

Its pretty much the same article. Not all diesel is even dyed red, why not call it purple diesel like it is in my area?Trfs (talk) 04:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Add section about UV reactive dyes for leak detection?

Seems to be missing.

In the Intro: Not all crystalline solids are highly soluble - or is something else meant here? twilsonb (talk) 04:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Is the Picuturedescription right?

Fuel pumps in Ireland, with green gas oil and red kerosene, and notices that it is an offence to use marked fuels in a motor vehicle

is the part "with green gas oil" right? shuld it not be "with blue gas Oil"? Especially because the note is stuck to the blue and red tanning pillars. Calle Cool (talk) 22:50, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Ah - the blue sign has nothing to do with the fuel color. In that case, the green diesel is marked blue at the gas station - right?--Calle Cool (talk) 23:06, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

The word "ethilins" in this article

I can't find any evidence of this word "ethilins". Has someone mistakenly put an English -s plural on a Polish noun? ~2026-17557-26 (talk) 16:18, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
