Lightbulb Red Diesel harmful for my particulate filter?

Hi guys,
Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place. Im new here and i just wanted to ask a few questions about my car (range rover diesel) As I use it only for farm useage, I am led to believe that using the red diesel will damage my diesel particulate filter. Can anyone confirm this or is this a myth, also is the Red stuff much much higher in sulpher levels?

Basically what i want to know is will the red render my particulate filter useless and/or result in engine damage or can i safely use red for extended periods of time with little or no effect on the car. And what is the real difference in sulphur levels between ULSD and red?


PS the filter can be expensive to change/maintain so thats why im asking.

Thank you all for the help i know its not boat stuff but hopefully someone can help me!! Thanks again peeps!
