White diesel is commonly used by to fuel our road vehicles and keep businesses moving across the UK. In fact, white diesel has been the countryâs most in demand fuel since 2005 and itâs the most widely used fuel across the world. Despite this, few of us know what this type of diesel actually is or how it differs from other forms of fuel. In this guide, we look at the composition of white diesel/DERV, discuss the other names this fuel is known by and answer some of your diesel-related FAQs.
White diesel, often referred to as DERV, is a petroleum fuel that is created by distilling crude oil. Itâs the fuel that we most commonly refer to as diesel. Additionally, itâs comprised of hydrocarbons molecules and itâs one of more than 60 types of oil that can be manufactured by refining crude oil.
DERV stands for âDiesel Engine Road Vehicleâ. White diesel, or DERV, is used to power our cars, motorbikes, vans and more. The name DERV is commonly used by the fuel industry, as itâs an easy way to differentiate between white diesel and red diesel or gas oil, which is restricted to off-road use by a limited number of industries. Click here for information about the gas oil duty change and to find out more about who can use red diesel.
Just like other types of fuel, DERV has come to be known by a variety of other names. These include: white diesel, road diesel, normal diesel, diesel, forecourt diesel, ultra-low sulphur diesel (USLD) and taxed diesel. These are all different from red diesel, which is a rebated fuel and can only be used in certain applications.
As you can tell from âDiesel Engine Road Vehicle,â DERV or white diesel is a fuel thatâs typically used to power road vehicles. Itâs currently the UKâs most sought-after fuel and itâs the type of diesel you find at petrol stations and forecourts. White diesel can also be used to power generators, engines and domestic central heating systems.
Over 25 billion litres of diesel were sold in 2020 in the UK, which is approximately twice the amount of petrol used in the same year. However, with the sale of new diesel and petrol cars to be banned by 2030 as well as the governmentâs 2050 net zero targets, many of us are turning towards future fuels.
Here at Your NRG, weâre proud to help our customers tackle their carbon footprints and transition to the next generation of fuels. As a supplier of HVO and GTL, we specialise in offering hassle-free, direct drop-in fuels. These greener fuels can power existing diesel fleets and reduce current carbon emissions by up to 90%.
Although itâs called white diesel, it is not white in colour. In fact, this type of diesel is actually a clear green or amber colour. The only fuel in the UK with a colour that matches its name is red diesel. This is because a red marker-dye is added in order to monitor legal and illegal usage.
White diesel is the fuel we rely on to keep moving and here at Your NRG, we supply DERV at low and affordable prices to customers across the UK. Whether you need to keep your fleet moving or your home warm, you can rely on us to deliver your fuel when you need it, all with no hidden fees.
