Is your sector affected by the red diesel duty changes?
As of the 1st of April 2022, the UK government has removed the entitlement to use rebated fuels, including red diesel for many sectors. This has required many businesses to use fuel that is taxed at the standard rate for white diesel. The change in legislation is to encourage users to switch to more sustainable fuels.
Who can use red diesel after 1st of April 2022?
From the 1st of April 2022, red diesel usage is restricted to the following qualifying purposes:
- Agriculture, horticulture, fish farming and forestry vehicles & machinery
- To propel passenger, freight or maintenance vehicles designed to run on rail tracks
- Heating and electricity generation in non-commercial premises, including state schools and hospitals
- Community amateur sports clubs, as well as golf courses
- All marine craft refuelling & operating in the UK, except for propelling private pleasure craft in Northern Ireland
- Travelling fairs and circus machinery
If you can no longer use rebated fuels, you must switch to products (diesels or biofuels) whereby full excise duty is paid, such as white diesel and white HVO. For clarification on the new rules, please call us on 0330 123 1444 to speak to a fuel expert.

Red diesel FAQs
If you’re buying diesel for your business and you’re unsure of whether gas oil or white diesel (DERV, road diesel) is best, visit our red diesel FAQ page, where we answer some of the most common questions we are asked by our customers.
What is red diesel?
Red diesel is a low-duty form of white diesel which can be used in untaxed off-road vehicles and machines i.e. in agriculture, rail transport and non-commercial electricity generation and heating. As red diesel is minimally taxed, it cannot be used as automotive diesel fuel in normal cars.
Customs and Excise regulations require minimally taxed diesel to contain a special red dye to enable inspectors to quickly and conclusively identify the presence or previous illegal use of the fuel and take appropriate action against the offender. Penalties can include having your vehicle detained and fines.

Can you use red diesel for heating oil?
As of the April 2022, red diesel is no longer permitted as a fuel for commercial heating. Our industrial heating oil (IHO) is the perfect alternative to using gas oil (red diesel) to heat your business for a fraction of the cost. Please note, that IHO is strictly prohibited for use in both on and off-road vehicles and any other mobile or static engines. Its benefits include:
- Compatible and totally miscible with commercially available heating oils, diesel and hydrogenated vegetable oils – no need to empty fuel tanks before receipt of IHO deliveries
- Same calorific value as diesel – giving you the same heat output for less money
- Same physical properties as diesel – no burner modifications required
- Totally miscible with diesel – no need to empty fuel tanks before changing to IHO
- Low CFPP/pour point – allows year-round summer/winter performance
- Contains multifunctional additive – improves combustion efficiency, reduces combustion chamber deposits and provides fuel system cleanliness and corrosion protection.
- Light colour, low odour and sediment-free – much cleaner than other commercially available products
