• Is there a minimum order for fuel?​

  Yes - 500 litres.​

• What is the difference between red diesel and white diesel?​

  Red diesel is for off-road vehicles. It is lower-taxed fuel which is dyed red to distinguish it from white diesel. White diesel (DERV) is fully taxed and must be used in vehicles that travel on public roads. DERV stands for Diesel Engine Road Vehicle. 

• Which fuel is best for my farm machinery?​

  It depends on what you’re running and how you use it. Tell us about your setup, and we’ll recommend what works best. ​

• Will I have a dedicated account manager?​

  Yes. You’ll have a local contact who gets to know your farm and your fuel needs and is always easy to reach when you need support. With Watson Fuels, you benefit from nationwide delivery but with local expertise.

• Do you supply renewable fuel?​

  Yes, we supply renewable diesel (HVO), which can be used as a direct alternative to standard diesel. It’s a simple way to cut emissions without changing your equipment. Chat to our team to find out more.​

• What are my options for reducing farm fuel emissions?​

  You could switch to lower-carbon fuels like HVO or GreenFlame. And you could offset your emissions through our carbon solutions. We’ll help you find what works for your farm.​

• What lubricants should I use for my machinery?​

  That depends on the equipment and how you use it. Talk to us and we’ll recommend the right products to keep everything running smoothly. ​

• Do I need AdBlue® for my tractor?​

  If your tractors, or any other farm vehicles, have a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system (most modern ones do), then yes. AdBlue® reduces emissions and keeps your vehicle(s) compliant. ​

• Can I fix my fuel prices?​

  Yes. With our Price Risk Management solution, you can lock in a monthly price and avoid fuel market fluctuations.

• Does buying in bulk save money?​

  Yes. The more you buy, the lower the price per litre.​

• Are fuel cards suitable for farms?​

  If you run vehicles between sites, they’re a great way to keep fuel spend under control. Talk to us and we’ll help you decide if they are right for you.
