Default Re: As a newbe to boating

No, missed a trick me old cocker, (or whatever the expression might be):-

Keep Red Diesel, but charge "full price" for it - that could be with the minimum duty required by the EU; that is at a lesser price than DERV, BUT rebate the duty for qualifying users like agricultural, generators, and heating.

If you bung the Red in your motor, then you run the risk of having your cahones and the car seized - exactly as before.

This fiendish scheme satisfies the French, yes I mean the French who put boating use into the duty scheme and the EU duty requirements, we pay a bit more for our fuel, but not enough to bite too hard. Problem solved, all that's needed is a few thousand more staff - sourced from the redundancies due to the C&E / IR merger.

Sorted. In your dreams!
