My local garage has always sold red diesel at the pump bought some today. Sign on the pump Says anything over 100 litres has to be signed for but no chance of needing that amount in one go anyway. £1.30 a litre plus they sell heating oil " kerosene" & parrafin a more refined version for use for indoor lamps etc. All good to run diesel heaters on. Anybody that says you can't but red diesel from the pump obviously hasn't been outside of their little bubble for a while. It's a big world out here.
In USA: According to government guidance, the types of vehicle that qualify to continue to use red diesel after April 2022, include: Vehicles designed to operate on a railway. Agricultural vehicles. Special vehicles. It's non taxed and tax id to purchase.
get it from the Marina!, say it's for a PERSONAL diesel heater NOT a Business heater. You can no longer heat you business on Red without paying the tax
First time I've had to get it from the pump, usually have it delivered 500l at a time but for whatever reason they won't deliver it no more, but was no drama, go in to garage ask for red diesel log book, fill it in, fill up and done. No worse than getting normally fuel at midnight really
Just went to dean service station in Rochdale because they sell red diesel. Go in, ask if I can have 20 liters of gasoil and is there a form to fill in etc. The 'english' chap at the counter doesn't know what gasoil is. Red diesel I say, and then it's all no no no we can't do that etc. I say it's for heating, I have ID, I'm in a registered road vehicle, I have a suitable fuel container. It's all no no no etc so I kick off a bit stating all the reasons but the guy wasn't having it, calls his manager who he puts me on the phone and the guys like we've had problems etc, basically no. Well simply, they've lost a customer and proven themselves to be complete ar holes. Absolutely no reason to refuse a perfectly legitimate sale. The only reason I can come up with is that they're dodgy, doing dodgy things and paranoid about getting gripped. I walked out resisting the urge to boot the sand buckets over etc no point in getting in bother. As I left I pulled right up to the window and beeped the horn, when he looked out I flipped him a good bird! Hilariously he pretended not to see it but he saw it all right!! I'm sure there's a conspiracy to stop anyone saving money in any way shape or form. Tbh it's only about 20p a liter cheaper when I add on fuel costs in going getting it so actually I'm not that mithered, more the total lack of reason and just because someone can't be bothered. There's a marina about the same distance so I'm gonna try there but am prepared to encounter some miserable bar steward who might be awkward. Absolute farce as usual. Thanks for the vid anyway.😂
Totally out of order the miserable bastards... who are they selling the red too if its not a legitimate customer.. I hope you have better success at the marina buddy... Good look and let us all know how you get on... All the best Terry
i have 3 fuel stations near my way on the coast that sell red diesel just fill out the forms. getting kerosene have travel some distance to get it. and even if they deliver min order 45 gallon drum
You could try a heating oil supplier for Kerosine .I pay 89p a litre for it ..works great.. or maybe a search for gas oil ' that's what the petrol stations calls it..
i never knew it was available anywhere at the pump, i have never seen it anywhere around me. the only places i have found won't sell in small quantities.
@@peterlumper5376 I am putting it in a diesel heater.this is on the form .the question is what's it used for .obviously i will travle to the garage in my car .What can hmrc do ? Its perfectly legal.. It's not going in the car.. let them come I will brew them a cuppa. I've nowt to hide ..
@@oliver90owner ooh I never thought of that, I'll have to ask the local supplier (Stephens Fuels). I could claim that back if I use it to heat my works space...... I wonder if it is only on the red diesel, or also on the heating oil Kerosene...
You'll regret being cramped up in a small van and a bigger one will let you have solar on the roof out of sight including a vent/skylight all nice and out of sight.
Hi, i live in europe and we have this diesel witch is colored to and its cheaper as regular one, but its used for farmers on farm vehicles. I dont know if regular people can buy that. Then need to talk with a farmer :D
Thank you for that I know that station very well so I’ll be paying a visit top lad 👍👨🏻🏭
Great , saves a few quid...

Yes if you try hard enough you will find somewhere near you ..
Plenty places do it
Thanks for the info, I am also now using red diesel in my heater :)
Good it saves you a few quid ..not everyone has access to it . Not many petrol stations stock it..

yes that correct ...
Thanks, will start looking!

Yes as long as its for domestic heating ( none commercial ) then it's ok. Good advice about getting from the marina...
Purchased 25 litres today for ma heater. 1.00 per litre. Fill in the form, fill up and pay.
Nice and easy
Yep it's easy isn't it ...
Your allowed 100 litres at a time as well..

ive done some extenesive searching in my area Northamptonshire and no petrol stations sell it.

Rarer than hen's teeth!

try a search for GAS OIL you might find it in your area at a BP near you
Big up Stockton BP garage ahaha
Well spotted...
As ever some fuel stations never sold red, and those with enough commercial need still do sell it.
Correct
Use domestic heating oil. Cheaper than red diesel and very widely and easily available.
Yes you are right .
Hi where can you buy domestic heating oil?
@@ALYDAVIDSON1 Any oil merchant. People use it to heat their houses, if they have oil fired boilers.
The problem is finding somewhere that will sell kerosene out of a pump. Usually its tanker delivery only and a minimum of 500 litres at a time.
@@iankynaston-richards883 yes ,that's all I can find 500 litres orders ..
YES! You can, as long as you fill out a form for H.M Revenue and customs .
and the form only asked me for my name address and reg number and what its used for ..thats it
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC surely the reg number applies the car you're using it in? expect a visit from hmrc
@@peterlumper5376 I am putting it in a diesel heater.this is on the form .the question is what's it used for .obviously i will travle to the garage in my car .What can hmrc do ? Its perfectly legal..
It's not going in the car.. let them come I will brew them a cuppa. I've nowt to hide ..
The village petrol station here sells it. I fill up a 25lt tub when I hire mini diggers no questions asked
Yeah , great it's still available all over.. its gone up in price a bit though .. 135 a litre, is still expensive...
@@oliver90owner i pay 135 a litre

Not many places sell red diesel apart from bug suppliers. I’m down south England and never see red diesel at the pump
I now use Kerosine 89p a litre from a heating supplier..
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTICdoes it stink?😂
no its just the same as normal diesel except its red.. thats the only difference
little big spy over there with a tiny camera ! nice one
Cheers
No seat belt bonny lad!
I put it on don't worry..
I only moved 10 foot for the video.
were is that filling station please
Stockton on tees
why not use kerosene - ive seen alot of videos people using it in the diesel heaters and its 1.15 a litre
A few reasons .1 . I can't get hold of the stuff in smaller quantities..2 it doesn't lube the pump..
And it stinks..

Yeah I see the disadvantage of a small van .but the iveco was huge . I've had small before and I prefer it to be honest..
Ya can still here in the states 👍😅🇺🇸
😃
I've seen a video where a guy filters it through cat litter and takes the dye out of it.
I've seen that too..
Imagine the dust left afterwords in the diesel...
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC yea i wouldn't put it in a car i care about only an old banger lol.
All though i imagine if that works there must be a cleaner way if doing it.

yeah buy it from the farmer
very few and far between on the red diesel were i live bro
Yeah a lot say that .. round here no problem ...
i have tried to buy red where i live near southampton but i cannot find anywhere
try a search for Gas Oil . the stations call it this ..also Gulf stations sell it in some areas
This isn't advice but personally I never give the correct info on the form.
Wink wink , say no more ....

Brilliant ...there's one near me too
