Hi Glenn,
How does one go about claiming the road tax component?

Hi Macca
The Shell refinery at Clyde has closed and they just import fuel
from O/S. I don't know about Brisbane. The stain in the fuel is just
a dye to differentiate the types. If it is damaging fibreglass tanks
then it is likely that methanol is added. We don't use it at all,
only Caltex -and that from a station which does not have e10
unleaded.
Don't forget to reclaim the road tax component from your fuel bills
if the fuel is used exclusively for aircraft.
Regards
Glenn
