An agricultural tractor misused for construction or other non-qualifying work invalidates any entitlement to use red diesel. Section 12 explains our interpretation of purposes relating to agriculture (including aquatic farming), horticulture and forestry in the ‘Memorandum of Agreement’, agreed by: Provided a contractor is using an allowed vehicle or machine for an allowed purpose, they can continue to use red diesel driving to and from the farm, carrying materials or equipment needed for the job and removing waste resulting from the contracted work. Can a self-employed contractor with a tractor and trailer use red diesel if employed by another contractor as part of the harvesting team? A.Each product requires a separate storage tank and hose/gun outlet. Each tank should be marked, with the one containing red diesel showing a statement to the effect: “Not to be used as road fuel”. For example, a digging machine, mobile crane or mobile pumping vehicle must not carry any load when used on public roads, except when it is necessary for its propulsion or operating the vehicle’s equipment. 3.5 When a special vehicle can use rebated diesel
A.As long as it isn’t taxed and never goes on the road there is no problem fuelling a farm 4×4 with red diesel. The right telemetry system will send an alert directly to your smartphone as soon as any unusual fuel usage pattern is detected, such as a sudden drop. This not only signals a potential theft but also helps you stay on top of any fuel leaks.Red diesel can be used if you’re a dealer and you loan a vehicle or machine for the purposes of a demonstration or trial that includes using the machine for accepted purposes, for example to a farmer for agricultural use. In those circumstances, the vehicle or machine will be treated as used and the previous paragraph will apply to it.
