If the exemption for home heating remains then will boats be able to have a red diesel tank for their eberspacher heaters?? Your thoughts would be appreciated Martin Post Extras:       DuncanMack regular Reged: 02/10/2005 Posts: 1554 Loc: Dunno, no GPS signal...

Similarly the generator could probably run on red too, though i'm not sure what happens if you use the generator to provide propulsion...

I use gas oil because I also run a standby generator off it. -------------------- I'd rather be naked Post Extras:       Pages: 1
