Matt ,

Theres a few places near you where you could buy some , a place called Nothern Oil in Nottingham or BD Fuels in Staffs .

And yes it runs fine it just doesnt have the additives that pump fuel has .

Diesel round my way is currently around 15p per litre more expensive than even Super Unleaded. Anybody trying to tell me that Diesel is somehow more economical than petrol is in denial.
