Premium Paraffin Explained
What Is Premium C1 Paraffin?
Premium C1 paraffin is a highly refined petroleum-based burning oil meeting the BS 2869 Class C1 specification. It is designed for clean, consistent combustion and is commonly supplied for compatible portable heaters, greenhouse heaters, lamps and specialist domestic or commercial equipment.
C1 paraffin is closely related to kerosene, but it should not automatically be treated as identical to standard Class C2 domestic heating oil. The grades have different specifications and intended applications, so customers should always use the fuel stated by their appliance or equipment manufacturer.

Excellent service. Held the quoted price, despite all the problems in the oil market and the massive rise in local demand. They also went out of their way to make sure I didn’t run out of oil by delivering enough to keep me going before they were able to deliver the full order (a week later).
Couldn’t have been better!

Received our delivery today as promised. The office staff kept me updated regarding my delivery. Jimmy was excellent, he delivered fast and efficiently, as the tanker blocks the road during delivery.

Ordered 500 litres of kerosene for 3-5 days delivery. It turned up literally early the morning after, and the prices were cheaper than the places I usually use. Also spoke to the team on the phone after I placed the order and they were very helpful! Would recommend!

Delighted to provide a 5 star for Compass Oil. We had been let down at the last minute by NRG Oil, after paying for a premium delivery.
Compass stepped in at very short notice and provided a next day delivery at a very competitive price, which really helped us out. The customer service from Kath, Leah, Jonny and the entire team was outstanding. We would undoubtedly use them again and would definitely recommend them.

Highly recommend! Very helpful and go out of their way to offer a 5 star service! We ran out of kerosene unexpectedly and with a 6 month old baby having no heating or hot water in -6 temperatures it was certainly challenging! Compass very kindly went out of the way to get a delivery to us ASAP delivering by 9am Monday morning now that’s what you call service! Thankyou Compass!

I have been a loyal customer of Compass Fuels for the past five years, and they are an incredibly friendly and customer-focused company. Olly and his brother, who are usually responsible for delivering the oil, are a pleasure to deal with. They are always friendly, and I enjoy chatting with them whenever they come to deliver the oil. Compass Fuels is a genuine company with an excellent people culture, and they deserve all the success they have achieved. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy fuel supplier.
