Red diesel differs from white diesel in several ways:
- Taxation: Red diesel is taxed at a significantly lower rate because it is intended for specific non-road uses.
- Dye: The addition of a red dye and chemical markers make it easily identifiable.
- Usage Restrictions: Red diesel is strictly limited to off-road vehicles and machinery, whereas white diesel is for standard road vehicles.
Both types of diesel are chemically similar, offering comparable performance and efficiency for diesel engines.
