Who uses Red Diesel
Sometimes there’s confusion about red diesel fuel and normal automotive white diesel fuel. In terms of its chemical make-up there is no difference at all apart from the fact that red dye has been added to differentiate it.
Red diesel also happens to be a lot cheaper than normal diesel and it can be used for heating and for vehicles in the construction and agricultural sector. It shouldn’t be used for normal vehicles and the red dye is there to help the police and VOSA identify the difference.
Red diesel can be used as a source of heating for the domestic market, where it is put into storage tanks next to residential properties. It can then used be by oil furnaces and other burners to heat a particular space or room in the property.

Red Diesel Supplier to the Commercial & Industrial Sector
In the commercial and industrial sector, gas oil is used for equipment such as cranes, bulldozers, generators, bobcats, tractors and combine harvesters.
Red diesel is also often used by travelling fairs and carnivals to power their generators, along with the aviation industry to power jet engines.
Red diesel offers a cost effective alternative to other fuels and it doesn’t carry the same levies on tax as white diesel. However, don’t be mistaken into believing that you can use red diesel in your normal on-the-road vehicle. If you are caught doing this then you could face a heavy fine.
Because it is subject to much lower taxes it is only meant for specific agricultural and construction vehicles and machinery.
