Thanks for translating guys, had no idea what he was on about. So basically you leave your car lying around unlocked and the fuel cap accessible? NOTED. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

There are, but sometimes if VOSA still have suspicions they can remove the filter and see if it is dyed with a colour. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Yep, VOSA can make the assumption that you've been running on that fuel since the car was new and tax you duty on the amount of litres it would taken for you to achieve the mileage you have. So in effect if your car had 100,000 miles on it when you were caught that's a big bill to pay!  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It can also come with a custodial sentence and seizure of the vehicle as you have basically committed fraud by keeping owed taxes from the government. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
