Possibly, in theory. Not sure if the high sulphur diesel is allowed in cars
anymore (bound to be some reg it contravenes). Also you would have to
declare 100% propulsion, and that would make it dearer than white diesel
(because red is higher duty as it's high sulphur, and the marinas rip you
off{*])

got back to Whixall - even BWML don't rip you off like that!
