What Is Red Diesel (Gas Oil) & Who Can Use It?
Red diesel, also known as gas oil, is a fuel used in specific off-road applications. It’s chemically identical to white diesel but is dyed red to indicate its rebated tax rate, making it more cost-effective for approved users.
Due to changes in UK legislation in April 2022, red diesel use is now strictly limited to certain sectors. At Birmingham Fuel Oils, we supply red diesel only for legal and permitted uses.
Who Can Use Red Diesel?
Agriculture, Horticulture & Forestry
- Tractors, combine harvesters, crop sprayers, forage harvesters and other farm machinery
- Diesel-powered irrigation pumps and grain dryers
- Generators and heating systems for agricultural use
- Forestry vehicles and machinery used for timber harvesting and land management
- Horticultural machinery used in gardens, market gardens and allotments
Rail
- Locomotives and on-track maintenance vehicles operated on a railway

It is your responsibility to ensure you are legally entitled to use red diesel before purchasing.
