Red diesel is chemically marked and dyed red to show that it has borne a reduced rate of excise duty. UK excise duty rate on red diesel is 3.13 pence per litre against 48.82 pence per litre for diesel road fuel. It is illegal to sell red diesel at the rebated rate for use in normal road vehicles.

The colour.

If you go to any of the farming shows ("The Royal", "The Town and Country" etc) you will see the customs people randomly sampling vehicle fuel tanks in the car parks to try and catch the farmers who use their cheap red agricultural diesel in their normal road going Range Rovers.

So if you see lots of smoke around Addlestone Brian you know that i have put some Red Deisel in my tank, from Chris Addlestone.

Red fuel is no more smokey than non red fuel -

Reminds me of the days of steam when signalling apprentices would be sent to the stores to get a gallon of red oil and a gallon of green oil for the lamps in the signals. ;o)

or a tub of elbow grease - ha ha

There's a tale from Ireland, where they have green diesel, that if you mix red and green diesel you get plain. But it seems that it really needs other chemicals to remove the dye...
