Hi Steph, sorry I didn't make myself to clear.. what brand of diesel do you use.. also is it just the normal grade or the higher quality one ?

[Stephanie Talbot]

normal grade umm and get it straight from ticknells they deliver it to farm fuel tank and yes white not red !! haha

When your tank gets low It maybe worth sticking in £5 - £10 worth of higher grade diesel, and see if that makes any difference.
