Ps: They used to dip fuel tanks to check for red diesel but now the can check for red staining in the engine, so if the previous owner of your vehicle  used red it will still show that the van has used red diesel even if you have never used it

There's a cure for that...........

A question - can you use Red diesel (40p per litre?)  in diesel water heaters - a) legally with a separate tank b) will the red diesel meet the specifications grade wise. Also Diesel generators - maybe for gutter vacs etc?

I don't have a diesel heater and I use about £80 a month for driving about 450 miles.

The answer is yes you can.

You are right yes you can but it will void the warranty and inevitably cost you a lot of money in replacement screens , lost time off work getting it fixed , not worth the hassle in my book
The answer is yes you can.

My understanding is that he is partially right. Since 2011 and 2013 the regulations changed with regard to the supply of diesel to inland marinas and other allowable uses - farm equipment and stationary engines.

The regulations do not include marinas where boats are ocean going so that fuel is still rubbish and will coke up diesel heaters.

As for inland marinas the fuel they are now supplying seems to have made a difference to the boats using Webasto diesel heaters for heating by live aboards as there have been very few complaints since 2011.
