Red diesel (gas oil), or low-duty white diesel, is a variant of white diesel that is specifically intended for use in untaxed off-road vehicles and machinery. It has multiple applications in different sectors, such as agriculture, rail transport, non-commercial electricity generation, and heating. It is important to note that red diesel cannot be utilised as fuel for regular automobiles due to its minimal taxation.
123 Oil, with decades of experience, is among the UK’s leading bulk red diesel suppliers.
To comply with Customs and Excise Regulations, the use of minimally taxed diesel mandates the inclusion of a distinctive red dye into the red diesel. This dye enables inspectors to promptly and definitively identify instances of illegal fuel usage, facilitating appropriate actions against the offender. Consequences for such infractions may involve vehicle detainment and imposition of fines.
From the 1st of April, 2022, the UK government implemented changes that removed the eligibility of red diesel supplies for many sectors. Consequently, numerous businesses are now required to utilise fuel that is taxed at the standard rate for road diesel (DERV).
The entitlement to red diesel for sale or rebated fuel is now limited to specific purposes, including:
These legislative changes were implemented to promote the adoption of low-emission fuels. Increasing the cost of diesel gives users a greater incentive to enhance energy efficiency and opt for cleaner alternatives.
Starting from the 1st of April 2022, red diesel as a fuel for commercial heating is no longer allowed. However, we present the ideal solution to meet your heating needs with our industrial heating oil (IHO). It is a relatively economical alternative to red diesel to heat your home or business. However, IHO cannot be used in on- and off-road vehicles or any other engines.
Our industrial heating oil offers numerous benefits, such as:
Red diesel fuel offers significant cost advantages compared to other fuels, mainly due to its distinct taxation and regulation, resulting in reduced expenses. As a result, it is highly suitable for large and heavy machinery that consumes substantial quantities of fuel.
One notable advantage of red diesel is its ability to generate higher heat levels than standard gasoline. This characteristic makes it well-suited for heavy machinery that requires significant heat for startup, enabling them to operate reliably even in cold weather conditions. The agricultural sector extensively uses red diesel in tractors, bulldozers, generators and other machinery that necessitates substantial heat during startup.
Additionally, it finds applications in construction equipment such as skid steers, cranes, and backhoes, which demand substantial power that other fuel types may not adequately provide.
The availability and transportability of red diesel are also noteworthy. Contacting an approved red diesel dealer allows for convenient delivery of the fuel directly to your location; alternatively, you can pick it up along with your equipment.
The red diesel cost fluctuates daily due to various factors such as supply, demand, global events, and political influences. Consequently, we are unable to provide online prices for red diesel. The specific delivery location and quantity required also impact the overall cost of red diesel. Ordering larger quantities results in a lower price per litre of fuel.
