For gasoline, with a density of 0.75kg/L and a ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms of about 6 to 14, the estimated value of carbon emission if 1 liter of gasoline is burnt gives: [63] Ayhan Demirbas (2008). Biodiesel: A Realistic Fuel Alternative for Diesel Engines. Berlin: Springer. p.74. ISBN 978-1-84628-994-1. The impact of this measure on individuals or households is expected to be minimal because where the government felt that removing entitlements could materially impact on the prices of goods and services households consume (such as heating or sports), entitlement to use red diesel has been maintained.

Changes to the RTFO (Road Transport Fuel Obligations) in 2019 increased the percentage of biofuel content in fuel from 5% to 8%. This biofuel content is typically FAME, or Fatty Acid Methyl Ester, a biofuel with similar characteristics to DERV but with far lower environmental impact.Road vehicles are defined as any vehicle constructed or designed for use on roads, other than any ‘excepted vehicles’. They are currently not allowed to use red diesel and rebated biodiesel in any circumstances, unless they are ‘excepted vehicles’ as defined in Schedule 1 to the Act. These excepted vehicles include various agricultural vehicles and specialist vehicles, such as those used in construction, subject to particular conditions on their specification and use. Road vehicles that are not excepted vehicles must use fully duty paid petrol or diesel at all times. Our competitive prices are some of the lowest in the industry, thanks to our bulk buying power. The savings we make are then passed on directly to you, our valued customers. This measure is expected to have a negligible administrative impact on those businesses and civil society organisations that will lose their entitlement to use red diesel and will need to switch to white diesel, although it will increase their fuel costs. This will include sectors, for example, such as construction, mining and quarrying, ports, manufacturing (e.g. ceramics, steel, timber), haulage (for transport refrigeration units on lorries), road maintenance, airport operations, oil and gas extraction, plant hire, logistics and waste management. Whilst these businesses will need to pay the full duty rate for using white diesel, this measure is expected to incentivise these rebated fuel users to seek to use greener alternatives or use less fuel. Here at Your NRG, we understand that the cost of white diesel can impact your business. That’s why we strive to offer low and competitive prices all year round. This includes no hidden fees, so the price you see when you get your quote is the full price you pay. What influences the price of white diesel?

Alongside that change, the government will introduce a new relief scheme under which private pleasure craft users in Northern Ireland will be able to claim a relief for the proportion of their fuel that will be used for non-propulsion, meaning they will not pay a higher rate of duty than they currently do on this fuel. The changes relating to the taxation of diesel used in private pleasure craft in Northern Ireland will be enacted in separate legislation and a Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) will be published for that measure alongside secondary legislation. Detailed proposal Operative date

There is extensive secondary legislation relating to fuel duty, with around 15 statutory instruments which are relevant to rebated fuels. Proposed revisions Nationwide Fuels has supplied our customers with DERV for over 60 years and, in that time, we’ve learnt almost everything there is to know about the fuel. In these FAQs we resolve any misunderstandings about diesel by answering some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive. Finance Act 2020 made changes to HODA which have not yet been commenced. It amended sections 12 and 14E to disallow the rebates that apply to diesel, biodiesel and bioblend that are not used for road vehicles on the fuel used for propelling private pleasure craft. It replaced section 14F to create new penalties for using marked fuel for propelling a private pleasure craft similar to those that exist when marked fuel is used in road vehicles. It also made consequential amendments to sections 6AB, 13ZB, 14A, 14B, 14C, 20AAA, 24 and 27 and Schedules 4 and 5, including to give HMRC powers to take samples. Finance Act 2020 provided for all changes relating to private pleasure craft to be brought into force on a day appointed in secondary legislation either in the UK as a whole or in a more limited area of the UK. Microbial contamination is where fungi and bacteria grow in your DERV, which increases both moisture content and sludge build-up. These microbes are naturally occurring and feed on the hydrocarbons in your fuel, with the rate of fuel degradation increasing as the bacteria multiply. Can you clean contaminated DERV?
