Merely moving the silage after someone else has cut it constitutes haulage, for which white must be used.

Question is: would the red diesel have damaged the engine/pump etc and am I in for a breakdown anytime soon? Where 75% or more of the electricity or heat generated when a machine or appliance is being used is for premises, or parts of premises, not used for commercial purposes.You can also collect waste material for agricultural use on your own farm, or the farm on which you work, or are contracted to carry out agricultural work, for example, spreading fertiliser on fields. It must be made aware that this post looks at the Red Diesel changes from a farmer’s perspective only. This includes the breeding and rearing of fish and other aquatic creatures and the growing of aquatic plants in artificial conditions such as in tanks, ponds, or reservoirs, for food. A good few years ago when I used to work the fuel rig a lot more often than I do now (due to link progression), I used to complain heavily about fuel leaks as I got fed up with smelling like s**t all night until the 0300AM shower at the end of the shift. If you need general help with this notice or have another question contact the HMRC excise enquiries helpline.

The types of vehicles and machines detailed in sections 3 to 6 can only use rebated fuel when being used for certain purposes (such as agriculture). Collecting inputs and equipment used as part of an agricultural, horticultural or forestry operation, and transported within or between different areas of land. It's like Stephen King's Misery had a baby with the Hulu limited series THE PATIENT (if you're looking for comps).There is no set distance limit on how far a tractor can travel so long as it fulfils the criteria above. Irish Customs and Excise were also known to set up stall outside regional universities and colleges to dip diesel tanks on the first day of term when country-dwelling parents would arrive with a student and carload of student paraphenalia on board.

It not only burns more slowly than gas oil or kerosene, but also offers long-term storage stability, which reduces the risk of spoilage, interruption or waxing. When an engine draws in the gunk and debris sitting at the bottom of the tank you risk damage to your fuel tank, fuel pump and filter system. Traces of red diesel are likely to remain in fuel tanks for some time after the changes and HMRC may carry out spot checks. Premises can also include any land, means of transport or mobile premises that are being used for carrying on a business or for private use. Again, if you are directly involved in an agricultural operation (such as baling), you can use red diesel.Each tank should be marked, with the one containing red diesel showing a statement similar to “Not to be used as road fuel”. If our officers are unable to take a sample, for instance, because you cannot remove an anti-theft device, or you refuse to allow it, they may seize and remove the vehicle, machine, appliance or vessel until a sample can be obtained. Further processing of harvested timber by anyone not involved in the forestry operation is not a purpose relating to forestry.

We will seize any vehicle, vessel, machine, or appliance that is using rebated fuel when it is not allowed to. HELP, I recently purchased a diesel laguna and I have discovred that the previous owner had been running the car on RED DIESEL now and again. They can use red diesel in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), only if the user makes a declaration of how much fuel they’ll use for propulsion, and pays full excise duty on that amount. You must record the identifying marks of the vehicle or machine using red diesel, on the day it is used. NOx, CO and particulate levels are lower due to better control of the combustion chemistry leading to more complete combustion.All types of boats and marine transport, except for private pleasure craft, are expected machines and can use red diesel for any use. As higher volumes of undyed white diesel arrive on construction sites, the growing challenge of fuel theft is expected to become an even bigger problem – an increase of both red and white fuel theft is already being reported. The definition of a private pleasure craft is given in section 11 of Fuel used in private pleasure craft and for private pleasure flying (Excise Notice 554).
