Mixed use – commercial with occasional private use and vice versa 
 
3.7 A craft may have mixed use.  For example, they may be predominantly for commercial use with some private pleasure use or vice versa.  Currently, these vessels may use red diesel, for their commercial use, but must pay the additional duty on fuel used for private pleasure journeys.  While red diesel may be used for commercial journeys, the government intends to require craft that are used for private pleasure to be fuelled only with white diesel for private pleasure trips.  This means operators would have to drain and flush the fuel tank and refuel with white diesel before any private pleasure use.  However, this would not be required when changing use from private to commercial use.

Oh dear, what price my electric boat now I wonder? To be honest this is all a right mess and I am glad I made the change when I could see the writing on the wall, whilst my range suits me it wont suit all and for yourself it no use at all, but it will get what the government want which is reduced diesel emissions without millions complaining! We are such a minority and its pleasure boating so its hardly the end of the world? I think people of my age have had the best of this world.

Well we certainly were free to abuse it without guilt or knowledge of the damage we were doing.
