More information
What is Red diesel?
Red diesel, also known as gas oil, is a fuel primarily used in off-road vehicles, machinery and industrial equipment across sectors such as agriculture, construction and marine transport. A red dye is added to the fuel to distinguish it from regular diesel for tax and regulatory purposes.
What is the difference between Red diesel and regular Diesel?
Red diesel is similar in composition to regular diesel (also called white diesel) but is taxed at a lower rate because it is intended for off-road applications. The red dye helps authorities distinguish it from white diesel, which is used in vehicles that operate on public roads and is subject to higher taxation.
Benefits of using Red diesel
Red diesel provides a reliable fuel source for a wide range of off-road machinery and equipment while typically being less expensive due to lower taxation. However, it is important to note that using Red diesel in vehicles or equipment operating on public roads is illegal. Authorities conduct checks to ensure compliance, so it is crucial to use Red diesel only for its intended purposes. In some regions, it is also referred to as industrial diesel, agricultural diesel or off-road diesel.
