We require a minimum of 500 litres of fuel to be ordered, however we can also deliver 205L barrels (45-gallon drums) depending on your location. There’s no maximum amount of fuel you can order, our largest tankers store up to 36,000 litres but if you need more fuel, we’ll just send more tankers!
We supply fuels to businesses and off-grid homes across the UK thanks to our vast network of depots. For off-grid home deliveries, a minimum quantity of 500 litres applies and this will also depend on your location. Call 0330 678 0880 today and a member of our team will be able to assist you.

Yes, if you have a preference when placing your order, you can arrange a date for delivery with your account manager and we’ll offer you a choice of a morning or afternoon slot.
No! As long as your tank is accessible, our drivers can make the fuel delivery with no one present. Please make sure that your tank is easily reachable and let your account manager know where they should leave the delivery receipt.
Our tankers are equipped with sensors that monitor the fuel levels so you know exactly how much fuel has been delivered.
Purchasing fuel in bulk can help to save money on fuel as this will require fewer deliveries which means fewer delivery fees. Additionally, buying your fuel outside of peak demand will help you save on your fuel costs as wholesale prices tend to rise when demand does – so if possible, buy your fuel ahead of the busy winter period.
It’s also important that you understand the intended application of your fuel. For instance, if you’re using diesel only for commercial heating, IHO is a cost-effective alternative that can help to reduce your costs (please note that IHO is not suitable for use in vehicles and must only be used for heating applications).
Yes! Our tankers are equipped with long hoses of up to 60m meaning we can easily access the more difficult-to-reach storage tanks. Please let your account manager know if your tank is hard-to-access and we’ll make sure we send a suitable tanker that will be able to access it.
This will depend on your site and how much fuel is being delivered. Our drivers always aim to deliver your fuel as quickly and as professionally as possible to ensure site disruption is kept to a minimum.
Yes! Whether the driver needs a code to access the site or if they need to ask for someone to make the delivery, let your account manager know and they’ll make a note for your driver.
If you notice a problem with your order and would like to make an amendment, please let your account manager know as soon as possible and we can try to resolve it.

Yes! We have a range of sustainable fuel solutions to help businesses reduce their impact on the environment. As one of the first UK businesses to introduce HVO fuel into the UK, we’re proud to offer the renewable fuel to all our customers. HVO fuel can reduce net CO2 emissions of your fuel consumption by up to 90% and because it’s completely miscible with diesel no modifications or upgrades are required – so you can make the switch today.
In addition to offering HVO, we provide our customers the opportunity to counteract the emissions released from their fuel through carbon offsetting. Our carbon offset fuels enable you to support carbon-reducing projects around the globe and through the purchasing of independently-verified carbon credits. Similarly to HVO fuel, there’s no changes or modifications required to start offsetting your emissions as the fuel you receive won’t change, simply opt in by speaking to your account manager and they will purchase the carbon credits on your behalf.
