Red diesel, a result?

This line of argument pre-supposes that the marinas will benefit from the higher diesel price and will therefore be moraly obliged to imrove thier "service". It fails because the marinas won't earn a penny more since the hike is in the tax paid. The "service" element remains the same - i.e. the marina is storing and distributing thus saving you the effort of carrying cans from the local garage.
 
If most marinas have any sense they will stop supplying red and transfer to white, they don't need to clean tanks as it isn't illegal to have tainted white. Much simpler for them, one fuel, one tax rate, one VAT rate. if you want red get it elsewhere, most marinas don't have high commercial through put..
