Using red diesel comes with several legal requirements:
- Permitted Uses: Red diesel can only be used for off-road machinery and specific applications like agriculture and marine. Misuse is illegal.
- Documentation: Keep records of red diesel purchases and usage for compliance checks.
- Inspections: Be prepared for inspections by authorities to ensure proper use.
- Transition Rules: Recent changes in UK legislation (as of April 2022) restrict red diesel usage in certain industries, such as construction. Ensure compliance with updated regulations.
Understanding and following these regulations helps avoid fines and ensures legal compliance.
