Who can use red diesel in the UK?
If you’re looking to buy red diesel, whether you be in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland or anywhere else in the UK. Its usage has become a lot more restricted since HMRC and the Government implemented their new red diesel duty changes which took place in April 2022.
If you’ve not used red diesel in some time or you’re new to using it. You should ideally check that your use case is still possible before trying to order. We’ve listed many industries and use cases for red diesel below.
Red diesel (gas oil) is restricted for use in:
- Rail transport

- Sailing, boating and marine transport (excluding private pleasure craft in Northern Ireland)
- Travelling fairs and circuses
- Fuel used for non-commercial purposes – electricity generation and heating

Of course, if you cannot use red diesel due to the changes in eligibility, we can also supply you with alternative fuels such as diesel and HVO fuel. So it would be worth calling our fuel experts to see how we can best help you.
Do you plan to use red diesel as heating oil?
Red diesel is no longer permitted to be used as a commercial heating fuel as of April 2022. Industrial heating oil (IHO) is not affected by the duty changes and is a cost-effective fuel that has been formulated specifically for heating.
IHO is strictly prohibited for use in any vehicle, be it for on-road or off-road vehicles, as well as any other mobile or static engines.
For heating oil applications, please refer to our heating oil and industrial heating oil product information pages.
