Finding the right fuel supplier can become very time consuming and frustrating. Here are a few points to help you find the right diesel supplier, no matter where in the UK you’re based.

What is Diesel

First let’s cover what we mean. Diesel can be known as white diesel, road diesel and DERV (diesel engine road vehicle). These terms usually refer to ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) that is commonly used in lorries, trucks, vans and cars fitted with diesel engines. Ultra-low sulphur diesel produces lower CO2 emissions than red diesel (Gas Oil) which is often used in the agricultural industry for vehicles such as tractors, as well as in industrial vehicles and machinery.

The main difference between diesel and gas oil is that the first is intended for use on road vehicles and the second is intended for off road vehicles and machinery, this is why the red dye is added to the Gas Oil so a clear differentiation can be made between the two and help to deter people from using the lower costing fuel in their road vehicles illegally.

Another major difference is that the full amount of fuel duty is paid on white diesel, according to recent reports fuel duty can account for up to 60 percent of the cost of your white diesel at the pump. This means that red diesel is a commercially viable options for businesses that are using off road diesel engines in their plant or machinery.

Who uses Diesel in the UK

Heavy goods vehicles such as tankers and heavy haulage lorries rely on powerful diesel engines to be able to transport heavy loads across the Country. Which is why companies running their own fleet of trucks and lorries rely so heavily on a ready supply of diesel across the UK for their vehicles.

For larger haulage companies, and those running diesel vehicles and machinery on-site. Huge savings can be made by bulk buying diesel and for vehicles (and machinery) not intended to go on the roads, such as the yard shunters for moving trailers across the yard. Red Diesel is another option for further lowering their costs.

For those companies with adequate storage facilities in place, diesel / red diesel is usual!ly bought in bulk to save money and cut down on their costs. Ingoe Oils is one of the largest fuel companies in the UK, supplying these fuels in bulk all across the country. Typically, delivery anywhere from 500 litres, up to 36,000 litres in each tanker or more.
