The dye maybe, but there are other tracers or at least that is what we

Tiniest traces of radioactive marker ?


no


"Developed by the chemical company Dow, a chemical €”
((3-(sec-butyl)-4-(decyloxy)phenyl)methanetriyl) tribenzene €” is added
to the diesel as a marker. Once it has been added to the fuel, it is
difficult to remove €” giving HMRC a better chance of identifying any
fraud. The marker is easily detected using gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry €” but laboratory testing means delays in combatting the
fraud."
