Sorry, Iain, but no. The taxation of the off-road fuel is dependent on its use, not on where it is used. Off-road propulsion for other than industrial or commercial (or, of course, bloody farming which unjustifiably gets every tax break known to man while ruining the countryside) purposes requires that white be used, on public and private land.
