I was in the pub t'other night chatting with a local farmer - seems he
had a visit from a number of ne'er-do-wells who pinched a load of
diesel out of the farmyard tanks.
That in itself was bad enough, but it seems it's quite common for the
scrotes to leave the filler handle fixed open on the floor so that all
the diesel in the tank runs away.
If the farmer padlocks the filler to the tank, they simply cut the
hose.

The daft thing is that if all they nicked was a few gallons on the
quiet, no-one would be any the wiser.

Anyway, 'elf 'n safety have told him he needs a new tank as the
delivery men aren't allowed to climb ladders ( to fill tanks ) and the
farmer isn't allowed to operate the tanker gear ( hey ho ).

So, he's got a new tank and somewhere more secure to site it - and it
occurred to a few punters in the pub that if a quantity of diesel was
left in the old tank and a suitable 'additive' added to it, it might
make for a nice 'gift' next time the scrotes come round for a spot of
traditional 'Olde Englishe Diesel Snaffing'.

Bearing in mind that such tanks are gravity powered and bottom ( or
thereabouts ) draining, whatever was added would need to be light
enough to remain in suspension or at least be whipped up by light
turbulence as the diesel drained out.
All I could come up with was fine carborundum powder.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
