A2 Grade Fuel Oil

A2 grade fuel oil is the most suitable fuel type for off-road vehicles and static machinery. It is low in sulphur and can be blended with a 7% content of biofuel to lower the greenhouse gases if the fuel does not need to fulfil EN 590 specifications. It can also come with an optional high cetane number. Red diesel is the most commonly used A2 grade fuel in the UK.

D Grade Fuel Oil

D-grade fuel oil is commonly used for furnaces, boilers and old machinery. It has a high sulphur content (1000 ppm). 123 Oil supplies red diesel meeting the D-grade specifications, to its customers all across the UK.
