In the UK fuel is chemically marked and dyed red to indicate that it has been supplied for non-road mobile machinery use, as in many cases such fuel is supplied at a rebated rate of duty.
Pleasure craft can still legitimately buy marked (red) diesel in the UK as long as the correct duty is paid on the element of the fuel to be used for propulsion.
The fact that this fuel is marked does not indicate the type of the fuel. Fuel known as red diesel may or may not be low sulphur fuel, dependant on its type and it may or may not contain a percentage of FAME (bio diesel).
