Red Diesel – Looking after your fuel

Red Diesel – Looking after your fuel

Fuelling Industry

Like most fuels, your red diesel is vulnerable to deterioration, particularly if it is left standing over long periods. There are a few simple, cost effective ways to prolong its life and enhance performance.

Standard Red Diesel has a life span of up to 6 months. If your business is continuously using the red diesel and it remains free from water and bugs you may not experience any problems. However, if your Red Diesel stands for a long time, we would suggest adding an additive to the diesel.

This will help;

  • prevent risk of bacteria blocking the filters
  • increase engine pulling power
  • increase the cetane level to EN590
  • reduce tank corrosion
  • inhibit the build-up of sludge & slime

Red Diesel bought prior to the 1st of November will not contain the winter additive. Therefore we recommend adding some Anti Wax which will boost the fuel’s resistance to waxing, helping it to operate at lower temperatures and reduce the potential for filter plugging.
