Red petrol, same as red diesel.

However owing to lack of demand (there aren't that many vintage
tractors left) they stopped making it about 15 years ago. I think HMRC
deleted it from the paperwork shortly afterwards.

The only time I have seen that was in an ex army Land Rover, one tank was
half full of red petrol when I bought it.
