    Can't say for certain but I doubt it would make a difference. It's just diesel with a green dye in it. I doubt green dye effects emissions.

    I'm pretty sure a dip test isn't part of the NCT either but I'd just fill it up with normal Diesel not to arise suspicion :)

    Though this wouldn't effect the outcome of green diesel tests...

    Wont make a difference what so ever. Its the exact same as normal diesel.

    Its only dyed green so farmers can only use it in their machinery (its a lot cheaper than regular diesel).

    'Marked gas oil' (green diesel here in Ireland) is cheaper because it's taxed at a lower rate, and "is intended for use for a purpose other than combustion in the engine of a motor vehicle".
    This makes it legal to use in industrial plant like generators, diggers, etc as well as agricultural machinery.

    The [SIZE=-1]Irish Road Haulage Association are campaigning to clarify the grey area of people using 'fast' tractors running on green diesel to haul goods on the road for commercial purposes.[/SIZE]
