I think you may have posted in the wrong section, but shouldn't be a problem, red used to be less refined then white but I think that's changed now with modern engine, now just the same except with a red dye, funnily enough in Ireland it's a green dye or used to be. Just don't get caught on the public roads running it or it could work out expensive. Unless you are using vast amounts personally I think I would stick with white.

According to this site https://craggsenergy.co.uk/red-diesel-facts/ red diesel has a lower cetane rating and so would need a cetane booster added to the fuel to run in your TDV8.

Yes! you can and will have no unwanted issues. People have issues running red when they use dirty drums, get it from a less than clean source etc. Water in drums or just dirty whether it's been gear oil etc in the 5 gall drums. |

I am afraid getting red Diesel is not as easy as it used to be, our Government have all but banned it , I can use it in my tractor on the fields but not on the road, most places won’t sell it to you. |

Though I've not had need to buy any this past year (I have a 40gallon drum's worth), all that's required is filling out your name/address/reg of vehicle buying it at the petrol station.
