Red diesel
Red diesel supply made simple with fast, reliable deliveries
At Moorland Fuels, we know that having the right fuel at the right time makes all the difference. Whether you’re working the land or running a business, a reliable fuel supply is essential. That’s where we come in.
Red diesel (also called gas oil or tractor diesel) is a must-have for industries like farming, forestry, and marine transport. It keeps everything from tractors to fishing boats operating smoothly, and because it’s taxed at a lower rate than road diesel, it’s a cost-effective choice for off-road machinery in industries able to use it.
Red diesel is a dyed, lower-taxed fuel designed specifically for off-road use in sectors including agriculture, horticulture, and rail. It can even be used by community sports clubs, and golf courses. It does the same job as regular diesel but is specifically for off-road use in vehicles, machinery, and equipment that don’t operate on public roads. Gas oil is the fuel of choice for farms, rail, and forestry, saving businesses money while delivering the same reliable performance. Plus, it lasts longer in storage, making it perfect for industries that need to keep fuel on hand.
Need a dependable gas oil supplier in Devon and Cornwall? You’ve got it! We’ve been delivering fuel across the region for twenty years, helping farms, businesses, and homes stay powered up without hassle.
Most homes we supply use kerosene for heating, but if you rely on red diesel to keep warm, we can help. Our team is happy to arrange deliveries so you never have to worry about running low.
Although rule changes in 2022 meant that many industries had to switch away from red diesel, some businesses in Devon and Cornwall still rely on it. We’ve been supplying fuel to rail companies, fishing and forestry businesses, and even community sports clubs for twenty years.
Whether you need an urgent delivery or a regular top-up service, we’ll make sure you always have the fuel you need. We can also work with you to create a delivery plan that fits your business, so you never have to think twice about it.
Farming never stops, and neither should your machinery. From tractors to combine harvesters, gas oil keeps your farm moving through the seasons.
We’ve been working with farmers across Devon and Cornwall for two decades, delivering fuel to even the most remote locations. Whether you’re mid-harvest, preparing fields for sowing, or just making sure you have enough fuel to keep things ticking over, we’ve got you covered.
