See if it will run on central heating oil. That's easy to obtain and is cheaper.
Rural garages often sell red diesel and heating oil at the pumps.

A lot of rural filling stations sell red diesel at a pump, the pump is usually located somewhere different from the main ones though.
Another source of Red diesel is on canals, all Canal boats use red diesel so if you live near a canal just look for a filling station along the towpath they are always near a car park.
All red diesel sellers will sell you any quantity providing you have the right container.

If it's only a small amount is it worth going to the trouble?

Find your local friendly farmer.
It may not be the only useful thing out of the relationship.
