I think the red diesel carries 5% duty up to something like 2,300
gallons. Over that and it leaps to 17%.

Other fuel duties are fixed amounts per litre so a percentage on x
gallons is not likely. Though knowing HM Revenue & Customs anything is
possible! B-)

Had a dig on the web rather than the HMR&C site and got better
results... Looks like the duty on Red Diesel is about to go up by
1.22p/l to 6.46p/l. HMG says this is to combat fraud, ie those using
red illegally in road vehicles. Not many people buy this as duty on
road diesel is 47.1p/l...

And there are hefty penalties for using red diesel in the 'wrong' sort of
vehicle.

Not getting confused with VAT? Oil for heating attracts VAT at 5% like
other energy sources (gas, electric). Oil for other purposes,
transport, lubrication etc attracts VAT at 17.5%.

Very probably the above, yes. I asked Ray about this and I don't think I
made myself clear to him.
