Common sense answer is it seems right, certainly to the spirit of the legislation, but that "and engine" at the end of the relevant section does leave a peg for someone to hang a hat on!

"Red diesel" is the colloquial term for diesel fuel which has not had the tax for use on the road paid on it, and as a result is much cheaper than road diesel fuel. It is dyed a red colour and has other trace chemicals added so that its imporper use can be detected by the Customs & Revenue people.

Penalties for using low-tax fuel on the road in this country are very severe, and the enforcement officers have more powers of entry and search than the police.

I wonder how much, if not all, of the advice given previously will be turned on it's head by the changes coming into force next April?
