My understanding is there is no badness in it, just normal diesel with dye. The problem is its easily detectable for customs whereas the kero is still white. Red diesel very expensive now too.

Arguably your better running your motor on red than white!

At least then you'd know for sure its not some dodgy washed stuff making whoever own the pump a few quid more.

I would have used it many moons ago in my student years and money was tight, could have taken my pick of garages i could have filled up at. The problem now would be getting it somewhere accessible, there was a huge clampdown on places selling it a few years back wasn't there?

I thinking you use a reputable garage for servicing (with a newish car) it will be pointed out ?

Apparently not, I'm told. Kero + Veg Oil = Diesel
