Frequently asked questions
Where do you deliver agricultural fuels to?
Certas Energy supplies farms throughout the whole of the UK. Our network of 130 local depots and 900 vehicles is equipped for rural and remote areas, ensuring reliable delivery whatever the weather.
How is tractor diesel regulated in the UK?
(Rebated Fuel Rules) Red Diesel (a rebated fuel) can be used in tractors and machinery for agriculture, horticulture and forestry. It’s illegal for road use. HMRC sets strict rules (rebated fuel rules agriculture UK). We supply compliant fuel and are an HMRC Registered Dealer in Controlled Oil (RDCO). Always check GOV.UK for the latest eligibility details.
How do I get the best price when buying agricultural fuels and lubricants?
Agricultural fuel prices change daily based on market factors, volume, and location. For the most accurate, competitive quote on farm diesel fuel prices (Red Diesel, GTL, HVO, White Diesel) or lubricants, please contact us directly.
Which heating oil is best for the agricultural sector?
The agricultural sector uses heating oil for a variety of reasons, so whether that’s heating livestock sheds throughout winter or running grain dryers, there are plenty of options available. Whilst red diesel has been used in the past, the move towards cleaner fuels means kerosene and industrial heating oil are growing in popularity. Industrial heating oil (IHO) is a fully rebated fuel, making it a cost-effective choice. There are some restrictions on the use of IHO, with use in vehicles being strictly prohibited. Our expert team will be happy to talk you through the right fuel for heating your farm.
Do you deliver agricultural fuels in bulk?
Yes, bulk fuel delivery is our standard method for farms, ensuring you have sufficient stock. We deliver Red Diesel, White Diesel, GTL, HVO, Kerosene, Gas Oil, and Therma35 in bulk quantities suitable for farm fuel storage tanks.
What are the rules for storing my fuel in a tank on my farm?
To safely store a fuel tank on your farm or agricultural premises, you will need to adhere to the agricultural tank regulations. The tank regulations apply to any business storing fuel in capacities over 200 litres. The agricultural sector is subject to slightly different rules regarding fuel that is used specifically for agricultural purposes like powering tractors or grain dryers. The use of fuels in vehicles, however, does fall under the regulations—and farms must comply. Read our guide to oil tank regulations for more information.
What are the benefits of GTL Fuel and HVO Fuel?
GTL Fuel burns cleaner (lower local emissions), is FAME-free (better storage, less filter blocking), and improves cold starts. HVO Fuel drastically cuts net CO2 emissions (up to 90%), is also FAME-free, sustainable, and performs excellently in cold weather. Both are drop-in replacements for standard diesel.
How does Certas FuelWise help prevent fuel theft?
The system provides real-time fuel level monitoring. Sudden, unexpected drops trigger alerts by phone/email, indicating potential leaks or theft, allowing for rapid investigation and action. This acts as a significant deterrent and helps secure your valuable fuel stock.
