What is the difference between marine diesel and highway vehicle diesel?

It depends. Legally, marine diesel is considered an off-road diesel. This means two things: it is permitted to have a higher sulfur content (although in practice, high-sulfur diesel is becoming less common, so chemically it may be the same); and secondly, marine diesel must contain red dye. The reason for this is you do not have to pay road-use tax on off road or marine diesel. It is illegal to run off-road diesel in a vehicle on the highway. If you were suspected of doing this, your fuel filter would provide tell-tale evidence because it filters out the dye.

What is the major difference between a petrol car and a diesel one?
The primary difference between a petrol car and diesel car is the consumption rate - diesel and petrol are refined from mineral oil using differing methods. The result is diesel engines having a lower fuel consumption rate than their petrol counterparts when installed in a vehicle of similar mass. CO2 emissions are also lower in a diesel engine than they are in a petrol engine.
Can a marine diesel engine run on highway diesel fuel?
Yes. The difference is that marine diesels do not (yet) have to run a diesel particulate filter, SCR, and other on-highway emissions controls, and thus can use low sulfur diesel fuel. Highway engines use Ultra Low Sulphur diesel fuel (ULSD) because of emissions requirements. Now, bear in mind that ULSD has less lubricity than low sulfur diesel fuel.

Sulphur levels. Euro 5 is ultra low sulphur, and formulated for engines which have a Diesel Particulate Filter. If you use Euro 3 diesel in one of these vehicles, it will clog the DPF within an hour and render the vehicle inoperable.
