The CPS Fuels - A JET Authorised Distributor of Marked EN590 Grade Diesel as Gas Oil
Liquid fuels in the UK are subject to excise duty. Road fuels have high duty rates applied to them, but other fuels have lower or zero duty ratings. Diesel engines can use Gas Oil to provide generation or provide propulsion.
The fuel industry has concentrated on making, storing, and distributing Class A2 as few engines or burners can legally use Class D fuel. Most applications can use Class A2 without any cost or performance implications. JET authorised distributor, theCPS Fuels, gives marked EN590 grade diesel as gas oil so you have the highest quality gas oil available regardless of use.
BS EN590 specifications are the same as white road diesel and therefore, it is suitable for use in all farm machinery without the need for fuel treatments or Additives. The fuel properties of Gas Oil are adjusted to maintain good low temperature performance. Gas Oil is winterised from September onwards.
D grade diesel engines
Older machinery with 1000ppm of sulphur is best suited for D grade diesel. Crown Oil is able to supply red diesel that is D grade to customers.
The use of gas oil in emergency generators and other public roads
Gas oil is used in emergency generators for datacentres and hospitals, as well as in machinery and other equipment, in addition to farming and agriculture. It is not legal to use gas oil on public roads. Farmers can use public roads to access another piece of land within 1.5 km if both are owned by the same individual or business.
You should make sure that your vehicle is able to run on diesel fuel. If your vehicle is a petrol engine vehicle, then you can use the same advice regarding diesel in a petrol engine vehicle. You can read advice from the AA and the RAC.
Kerosene: A Fuel Oil
Kerosene is a fuel oil formed from the distillation of crude oil. It is used to power both industrial and commercial engines.
What is the name of a gas oil?
The question about what gas oil is often asked as it can be referred to under a variety of different names. If you bring it down to very basic terms, gas oil is a part of the diesel fuel family and there are two types: red diesel and white diesel. White diesel is a type of oil used in cars.
The Pictograph Label on Fire Extinguishers
If you use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on the wrong fuel, you can make things worse. Understanding the different classifications of fuel is very important. The pictograph label on most fire extinguishers tells you which fuels the extinguisher is designed to fight. A water extinguisher with a label like the one below should only be used on Class A fuels.
