Construction fuel supply FAQs
What fuel do construction vehicles use?
Most construction vehicles run on diesel fuel, known for its high energy density and torque output, essential for powering heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, and cranes. Diesel engines deliver superior pulling power and fuel efficiency compared to petrol alternatives, making them ideal for continuous, high-load operations on construction sites.
Some modern fleets also use red diesel (gas oil) for off-road machinery, though regulations in the UK now limit its use to specific industries. Additionally, biofuels, HVO Fuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), and dual-fuel systems are becoming more common as construction companies move toward lower-emission fuels.
Can diesel engines run on biofuels?
Yes, most diesel engines can run on biofuels, though compatibility depends on the type and blend. Biodiesel (FAME) can often be used in blends like B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% diesel) without engine modification, while some heavy-duty engines can operate on B100 (pure biodiesel) with minor adjustments.
Alternatively, HVO Fuel offers a drop-in replacement for diesel, meaning it can be used directly in existing engines without any changes. It burns cleaner, reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, and improves cold-weather performance, making it an increasingly popular sustainable fuel choice for construction equipment.
Is diesel used in construction?
Absolutely. Diesel is the dominant fuel in the construction industry due to its efficiency, reliability, and high power output. It’s used to run heavy plant machinery, generators, compressors, and transport vehicles.
While electric and hybrid construction machinery is gaining ground, diesel remains the most practical and accessible energy source for large-scale operations. Many contractors are adopting renewable diesel options like HVO to meet sustainability targets and reduce carbon emissions without compromising performance.
How to store fuel on a construction site?
Fuel storage on construction sites must comply with the Environmental Agency and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations. Diesel and other fuels should be stored in bunded, secure, double-walled fuel tanks to prevent leaks and spills.
Key storage guidelines include:
- Position tanks away from drains and watercourses.
- Use lockable taps and hoses to prevent theft or tampering.
- Keep a spill kit and fire extinguisher nearby.
- Record all deliveries and usage for fuel management compliance.
If large volumes are required, consider on-site fuel bowsers or portable tanks for efficient refuelling of multiple machines while minimising downtime.
How much does construction fuel cost?
The cost of construction fuel varies depending on the type (diesel, HVO, biodiesel), location, and market conditions.
