Agricultural Fuel

Gas Oil (Red Diesel, 35 second, tractor diesel)

Red diesel, also known as tractor diesel, carries a lower duty rate than regular white road derv. The fuel is dyed red for identification and is widely used in:

  • Agricultural machinery (tractors, harvesters)

  • Construction equipment (diggers, plant machinery)

  • Other off-road vehicles

Since 2011, sulphur content has been reduced from 1000 ppm to just 10 ppm, improving emissions but reducing lubricity. To maintain equipment performance, we recommend using fuel additives to protect engines and ensure fuel quality.

For older or larger boilers using gas oil for heating, we can also supply an alternative product that reduces carbon emissions at no extra cost. This fuel meets BS:2869 Class D standards and offers extended storage life.

FAQs

What is the difference between red diesel and white diesel?
Red diesel (gas oil/tractor diesel) is taxed at a lower duty rate than white diesel (DERV) and is dyed red to distinguish it. It is only for use in off-road machinery, agricultural vehicles, and certain heating systems. White diesel (road fuel) is used in cars, vans, buses, and trucks on public roads.

Can I use red diesel in my car or road vehicle?
No. Red diesel is strictly prohibited for use in on-road vehicles. It is for agricultural, construction, and plant machinery, or for heating in certain boilers. Using it illegally on-road can result in heavy fines.

Do I need additives for my agricultural or domestic fuel?
Additives are not compulsory but highly recommended.

What types of lubricants do you supply?
Through our Morris Lubricants partnership, we provide oils, greases, and fluids for engines, transmissions, hydraulics, industrial equipment, chainsaws, and more — available in all sizes, including bulk.

Can I monitor my fuel tank levels remotely?
Yes. We offer ultrasonic measuring devices for in-home level checking. Alternatively, we can provide a remote monitoring service from our office for a small annual fee.

Description
Red diesel/tractor diesel, carries a lower duty rate than regular white road derv. It has a red dye to distinguish the product and is used in a wide range of agricultural, plant and construction equipment including diggers, harvesters, tractors and other off road machinery. Since 2011 the sulphur content has been significantly reduced to assist with emissions, from 1000 parts per million to 10 ppm. This has had a recognisable effect on the performance of your equipment so we highly recommend you purchase additives to replace the lubricity of the fuel and ensure the quality.For those larger and older boilers that use gas oil for heating we are able to offer an alternative product that will reduce carbon emissions without any additional cost. The fuel conforms to BS: 2869 Class D standard, with extended life for fuel storage.
