Thanks for posting that useful information

Leisure boaters who still have green diesel in their tanks from last year have been given some reprieve by the Revenue Commissioners “on an operational basis”, though it is expected that “such residue will be used up very quickly”.

Got 3/4 tankful of UK red, will take probably 4-5 years to clear, hopefully RoI won't turn Belgian on fuel...

Ironically, once the transition period ends in December it should not matter anymore for UK flagged vessels as we will no longer be subject to EU VAT Regulations.

An awful lot of the coastline on the west is not services by white diesel.

If you can tie up at a pier, you can probably persuade a road tanker delivery for 100litres or more (tank plus spares?) We had a road tanker delivery to Kilybeggs town pier. Walking a mile or so to the garage would have been very hard graft!

Don't count on that, an American boat was fined in Belgium for having marked fuel in his tank.

If that's the same case I think of, that was in Germoney. In Belgium Brits are being fined.

The last time I filled my tank was, I think, October 2015. It's still one-third full, about 60 litres.

There's a whole border industry that'll take that colour out for you. They'll be rubbing their hands about the good times coming back to South Armagh etc.
