GAS OIL
Gas oil, also known as red diesel, is a low fuel duty variant of regular road diesel. It’s blended with a red dye marker to help signify illegal use; other than the colour, gas oil is exactly the same fuel as the road diesel you find at any UK petrol station.
Many industries and sectors currently make use of gas oil including agriculture, forestry and rail transport. Hospitals and some other non-commercial facilities can also use gas oil in backup generators too. he most well-known and widespread users of gas oil are within the farming industry, who make major use of the rebated fuel in their farm vehicles such as tractors, utility vehicles and combine harvesters. This is why gas oil is often referred to as agricultural diesel
Gas oil is also often used in grain dryers, but this isn’t the best or cheapest fuel available for the job. Industrial heating oil (IHO) is a far better option this purpose as it has been specifically designed for use in heating applications.
