What is agricultural red diesel?
Agricultural red diesel is a cost-effective fuel designed for off-road use, making it essential for farms and rural businesses. It’s commonly used to power machinery such as tractors, harvesters, sprayers, and other equipment that doesn’t operate on public roads.
Because of its role in supporting agriculture, it is taxed at a lower rate than standard diesel. However, red diesel agricultural use is restricted to specific applications, with clear rules around where and how it can be used. If you’re unsure about eligibility or supply, our team can guide you.
Can farmers use red diesel?
Farmers can use red diesel, as long as it’s for legitimate agricultural purposes. The use of red diesel in agricultural vehicles is permitted when those vehicles are carrying out farming activities – whether that’s working the land, transporting materials within the farm, or maintaining agricultural areas. There are also allowances for limited road travel, provided it’s directly linked to farm work, such as moving between fields.
With regulations firmly in place, it’s important to stay compliant. As experienced red diesel suppliers, we’re here to help you stay on the right side of the rules.
