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.
DERV (Road Diesel, White Diesel, ULSD)
We supply standard road diesel for cars, vans, buses and truck fleets of all sizes. Bulk deliveries can be arranged directly to your site and storage tanks.

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.
