A pal of mine has a 60yo truck that I've been involved in the restoration of over the last few years. This summer it will be going to a few shows. Truck has two large fuel tanks.These are interconnected by a steel pipe with valve at each end. Only one tank is piped to the engine (8 cyl Gardner). His intention is to close the valves and remove connecting pipework. The running tank would have white diesel whilst the secondary would be half filled with red to try to minimise corrosion.
Would this be legal and acceptable to the authorities?
The tank dipping brigade are normally loitering around the shows. Used to be HMC+E but now might be HMRC or VOSA, I don't know.
Many thanks,
Nick.
