Our agriculture fuel services
We know fuel is the cornerstone of busy farming life, and every litre counts. As a trusted partner that treats your success as our own, we tune in to your operations to understand exactly what you need and when you need it. So, from individual top-ups to bulk fuel delivery for farms, you can keep tractor wheels turning, machinery motoring, and temperatures toasty with ease.
Our product range brings some of the industry’s very best, including standard diesel, commercial and industrial heating oil (IHO), and white diesel (DERV). For more eco-conscious operations, our renewable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) also proves popular among our agricultural customers. Plus, with a suite of lubricants, fluids, and additives to support performance and efficiency, you can unlock tried-and-trusted solutions that extend the impact, uptime, and lifecycle of machinery.
Level monitoring made simple
When agricultural fuel tanks run empty, the consequences can ripple beyond downtime alone, impacting long-term productivity and profitability too. With our intelligent remote monitoring tools, TankPal for red diesel and farm fuel and CosyConnect for farmhouse heating oil, we take constant manual checks off your to-do list.
Placed on the inside of your tank, these devices keep track of your usage patterns and trigger automated alerts if a sudden drop occurs, whether through theft or leaks. By monitoring the quality of fuel within your tank, they can even identify potential contamination so you can intervene before any performance issues spiral – preventing damage to the system, mitigating downtime, and curbing unnecessary maintenance costs.

Red diesel
Reducing costs with red diesel
For many farms, red diesel remains a practical way to manage fuel spend without compromising on performance. Designed for off-road use and governed by strict HMRC guidelines, it’s well suited to powering key tasks such as running agricultural machinery, supporting grain drying, fuelling generators, heating non-commercial buildings, and moving between land.
And at Moorland Fuels, we make procuring it easy. Combining dependable supply with local farm fuel delivery expertise, we make sure agricultural sites in Devon have consistent access to quality red diesel when it’s needed, supporting smooth operations that keep costs in check.
Heating oil
Delivering dependable heating oil
From supporting livestock welfare to nurturing crop cultivation, heating oil plays a critical role across modern farming operations. Supply must not only be high quality, but also consistent and reliably delivered – backed by transparent pricing that leaves you feeling in full control.
Moorland Fuels supplies a range of heating oils, including kerosene, gas oil, and industrial options, tailored to the varied needs of farms across Devon. With a deep understanding of seasonal pressures and an unwavering commitment to helping you succeed, we make sure you’re always ready for what the workload demands – and warm when you’re kicking back in the farmhouse after a long day on the land.

Tank maintenance is a core part of our agricultural fuel services. Our OFTEC-registered engineers provide expert installation, replacement, and maintenance support that checks for wear, leaks, and contamination – helping you strengthen fuel performance, minimise downtime, and curb unnecessary costs. With strict rules for storing farm fuel, it’s also a great way to maintain regulatory compliance.
Yes, our emergency delivery service exists to get you back up and running quickly when your tank runs low, because we know how detrimental downtime can be. Our urgent call-outs typically offer same- or next-day delivery, but this may vary depending on current demand.
TankPal and CosyConnect use discreet sensors installed inside your fuel tanks to monitor levels and usage continuously. This gives you a clear, real-time view of consumption, alongside alerts if levels run low, drop unexpectedly, or behave outside normal patterns. With better visibility, reordering becomes easier, and you’re less likely to face disruption on site.
Protecting agricultural fuel on site comes down to two factors: prevention and early detection. Moorland Fuels supports this with bunded tanks that provide an added barrier against tampering, alongside remote monitoring through TankPal and CosyConnect, which flag unusual changes in fuel levels so you can respond quickly to potential issues.
If you store more than 1,500 litres of fuel on site, your setup must meet the requirements set out in the Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry, and Agricultural Fuel Oil) (England) Regulations 2010. Typically, this means using bunded tanks with a capacity of at least 110% of the tank’s volume, positioning them a minimum of 10 metres from watercourses, and keeping equipment well maintained to minimise the risk of leaks. For full guidance, it’s worth reviewing the Environment Agency’s official legislation.
