The government announced in February 2014 the introduction of a new product for marking rebated fuels.
This is a significant step forward in the battle against criminals who ‘launder’ rebated fuel and sell it on for road use at a profit.
The new marker represents a significant improvement on the existing mix. The oil industry has started adding the new fuel marker ahead of 1 April 2015.
