How many Red Diesel drums can I order?

Who can legally use Red Diesel from a 205 litre drum?

Eligibility depends on the equipment and how the fuel will be used. Read our Red Diesel tax and eligibility guide if you are unsure.
How should a 205 litre Red Diesel drum be stored?
Red Diesel should be stored securely in a suitable fuel container and protected from damage, leaks, contamination, water ingress and unauthorised access. The storage arrangements required will depend on the location, quantity stored and applicable environmental and fire-safety requirements.
What if I need more Red Diesel than drums are suitable for?
Compass also supplies Red Diesel by bulk tanker. If your required quantity makes drum supply impractical, our team can advise whether a conventional bulk delivery would be a better option. You can also view our UK Red Diesel price guide for more information about larger-volume supply.
