I certainly wouldn't want to run a modern auto diesel on the stuff we  
put in our boat tanks, especially from the cheaper suppliers ;-}}

Other thoughts (AFAIUI):

a) the declaration is that you own a pleasure craft, and that the  
declared percentage is for *marine* propulsion

b) the only diesel you can use in a road vehicle is DERV (= diesel  
engined road vehicle) i.e. white diesel

c) just don't tangle with the Revenue on this one: being found to have  
red diesel in your tank renders your vehicle forfeit and liable to  
seizure by any officer of HMRC. And they don't have to give it back if  
they decide they don't like you, even after you've paid the fine and  
the unpaid duty.
