Bulk diesel supplies delivered within 24-48 hours

Thanks to our strategically located network of depots across the UK, we can deliver as much diesel as you require within 24-48 hours. We’ve been a trusted diesel supplier to businesses in the utility sector for over 50 years and thanks to our large depth of stock stored onsite, we can offer competitive prices and flexible payment options.

Reduce the CO₂ emissions of your power station’s fuel consumption with HVO fuel

With utilities and power stations under increasing pressure to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, HVO provides a fantastic opportunity to cut the net CO₂ emissions of your fuel consumption by up to 90%. While not the final answer to climate change, HVO is a great stopgap solution to make significant greenhouse gas savings without businesses needing to modify existing equipment or infrastructure. HVO is also a great option for backup fuel generators as it has as storage life of up to 10 years and exceptional cold weather performance when compared to diesel.

Why switch to HVO fuel?

• Up to 90% reduction in net CO₂ emissions
• 10-year storage life
• Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) of -27^oC provides exceptional year-round performance
• A direct replacement for your current diesel – no need to change existing equipment or infrastructure
• Adheres to EN15940 standards and Fuel Quality Directive 2009/30/EC Annex II
• FAME-free, fossil-free and sulphur-free – this means fewer filter changes, lower maintenance costs and no more diesel bug
• ISCC verified at import for full traceability of product
• We’re approved under the Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme (RFAS) – so we can provide our HVO customers with a quarterly Renewable Fuels Declaration for company carbon reporting
• Free from aromatics and sulphur, reducing particulate production during combustion and providing a more efficient burn

Call 0330 123 1144 today to learn more from one of our HVO fuel experts.

Industrial heating oil for large commercial heating applications

If you’re looking for fuel to generate heat in commercial boilers, heaters, dryers and furnaces, IHO might be the perfect solution for you. It’s a cost-effective drop-in replacement for diesel when used specifically for commercial heating applications, offering the same heat output for less money.

Same-day emergency fuel supplies when you need it most

If your tanks are running low and fuel supply is critical to the operation of your power station, we’ve got you covered. We can supply same-day emergency fuel nationwide 365 days a year to ensure that your business needs are met, wherever and whenever you need us.

Never run low again with our free fuel management service

We understand that managing your fuel supply can be both costly and inconvenient.

Improve your equipment’s efficiency with our lubricants, oils and greases

The right lubrication is essential to keep your machinery running at optimal performance throughout the year and at Beesley Fuels, we have over 5,000 options to choose from meaning that we’ll have the right products for you. We supply OEM-approved lubricants from world-renowned brands, biodegradable lubricants as well as custom-blended lubricants tailored to your individual needs.

Why not check the quality of your lubricants with our health checks?

In addition to being a leading lubricant supplier, we also perform standard and premium lubricant health checks to help businesses assess the quality of their equipment’s lubrication. If you’re using lubricants that have degraded over time, or if they’re not fit for purpose, the output and performance of your machinery could be affected, and in worse cases, lead to costly repairs. Our health checks will identify actionable recommendations you can take to improve the health of your lubricants, extending the life of your equipment.

Environmental fuel services

Our environmental fuel services can help prolong the life of your fuel systems and storage tanks whilst also protecting your sites and surrounding environment from leaks or spillage.

Fuel sampling and testing

Did you know that over time, fuel can become contaminated and start to degrade your storage tanks and equipment? Our fuel sampling and testing service can help you understand the health of your fuel in a clear and easy-to-read format, enabling you to take necessary actions to protect your fuel.

If you’re unsure of the health of your fuel, get in touch with our fuel testing experts by calling 0330 123 1144 today.

Undisruptive fuel polishing

For power stations looking to restore their existing backup stock, our fuel polishing service is the perfect way to restore your fuel to pristine condition, prolonging its life and improving its reliability and efficiency. During the fuel polishing process, your fuel will remain in situ, meaning that you can still use your equipment and machinery as normal while the unit cleans the fuel.

Fuel uplifts and replacements

Our fuel uplift service enables you to remove fuel that is no longer needed, transfer fuel to another tank or replace fuel with an alternative such as HVO. Our engineers work to the highest level of accreditations and industry standards so no matter how big the job, you can count on us to complete the job safely.

Our fuel uplift service involves:

• A full site survey and risk assessment to assess the best way to recover your fuel
• We’ll then extract the fuel safely by pumping it into one of our tankers
• Our team will then clean your fuel tank, removing any sludge or residues
• We’ll then transfer, replace or dispose of your fuel
• We may even make a payment for your fuel if it’s suitable for reuse
