So riddle me this.
Is there any reason I can’t put diesel in a red plastic jerry, as long as I write Diesel on it in big letters??
I don’t think it’s actually a law, at least not in Australia, but it’s a useful convention

Shouldn't be a problem imo.

However, in Germany it is e.g. forbidden to put acids or toxic substances in bottles for lemonade, beer or food of any kind. Even if this is a legend (I actually don't know) you will certainly be held liable for any injury or damage caused by a mix-up.

A gross negligence thing ...

Something like this would be nice/useful: though they have one that fits already… as far as fuel is concerned, I’d prefer if someone would make a secondary switchable tank for the grenadier. I’ve heard that may be difficult due to space limitations.

1.You may find that the writing will disappear as soon as it comes in contact with the fuel (organic solvent and all that).
2. Many, (presumably not all), red 'plastic' jerry cans are deemed unsuitable for diesel fuel and also petrol-based 'racing' fuels because of the incompatibility of the container plastics with certain fuel additives.
I'd discovered this a few yrs ago when I bought a 6US Gal/23L red plastic 'boat' fuel tank (manufactured in Italy) from the local Aldi store for a (non-boat) project which didn't eventuate. So I thought I'd use it as the fuel tank for a DIY camper trailer which I'd fit with a diesel stove. However a careful reading of the very small print engraved on the container and a follow-up with the importer put paid to that idea as well ...
I haven't got any clarity as to which additives or what the issue with diesel is other than it "might" cause that particular container material to go "soft"...

There was a protocol, years ago, in the UK.
Black = diesel
Green = unleaded
Red = leaded
Red icans are very rarely seen in the UK now

My issue is what I use for the 2 stroke machines @ 50 to 1

Thought I had all the recovery gear that I'd realistically need ... but there is always something else ... Bog Out looks pretty effective, has any one used this ?

Bog outs are ok, but you can't use them unless you are going dead straight, and I mean dead straight, otherwise it comes off the wheel. Especially difficult if its muddy. You need 2 unless you have a locked diff and the anchor points for both need to be wheel width apart.
So in theory they are a great idea but practically I found them difficult to use.

And I have a ton of stuff from previous that will come across like

Camper trailer and tons of camping gear

Midlands are good devices. I appreciate the CB radios. You can quickly tell your mates where there's a Kojack with a Kodak, with the Bird Dog is switched on.
