Moosh,
There are many ways of creating or using different fuels.
The inescapable fact is that if you use it in a road-going vehicle then, by law, you must pay the relevant taxes. If you do this, then it is not an economic solution.
The judgement involves whether or not you will be caught (not likely, but possible) and if you are caught will the penalty out-weigh the benefits (Big time, they will take the mileage of your vehicle, assume it has been using tax-unpaid fuel since you bought the vehicle, and charge you).
My one piece of advice would be that you can play hell with the Income Tax people, but only a fool messes with Customs and Excise.
You make your decision, take your chances, and don't bitch if [when?] you are caught.
Mark.

I agree with you Mark!
We must assume that when this fuel is made excise duty then has to be paid on it.
Surely this would wipe out the claimed 40% saving.
In other words this company is not telling the whole truth and is just a scam to get £35.
Maybe the site is trying to appeal to the motorist who will use it without paying the duty because the resulting fuel it is not dyed red and harder for C&E to detect?

Mark (Brazil) says that if one sticks to the law, fuel tax is inescapable. What about electric vehicles - milk floats etc. Electric bikes (mopeds) are becoming popular. Are they all breaking the law? If I built an electrically propelled car and recharged it from my domestic electricity supply, would HM customs & excise be interested?
