Fuel Tankers in Crown Oil's Fleet

Our Fuel Tankers Ensure Any Delivery Size, Anywhere in the UK

Crown Oil operates a fleet of over 140 fuel tankers across the Group, purpose-built to deliver our full range of fuels, oils and lubricants directly to your oil storage tank. From small “baby” tankers to articulated lorries, we can supply any volume of fuel to homes, businesses and construction sites nationwide.

Our delivery vehicles travel the length and breadth of the UK, 365 days a year, ensuring businesses and off-grid properties receive the fuels, oils and lubricants they need to stay warm and keep operations running smoothly.

As a leading fuel and lubricants supplier, our fleet is equipped to reach every corner of the country, and we are a trusted partner for reliable fleet fuel services for organisations across the UK.

We’re also extremely proud to be switching our van fleet over to 100% electric by 2029. We’ve already started the transition.

Oil delivery vehicle FAQ

All delivery tankers have 53-metre (175-foot) hose reels; however, some of our smaller tankers have a 60-metre (200-foot) hose to assist with delivering fuel to hard to reach storage tanks.

Our artics do not have hose reels. Instead, fuel is delivered via a bulk hose which is around 12-metres (40-foot) but can be extended if needed.

So long as the delivery vehicle has access to your oil storage tank there is usually no problem with getting the fuel into the tank.

Our baby tankers specialise in delivering oil to hard-to-reach locations – anywhere with a small road or limited access. If you require heating oil in the north west and accessibility is a concern, our baby tankers will be able to handle the delivery.

We’re very proud of our efforts to drive down our net CO₂ emissions which is why we’ve transitioned our entire fleet over to HVO. We are also a UK leading supplier of HVO fuel to businesses across the UK.

Our fuel truck drivers are able to pump heating oil into your tank without you needing to be there – all we need is access to your oil storage tank.

We have tankers with three separate compartments to allow us to deliver various fuels to a single customer, so if you need both red diesel and white (DERV) diesel, we can help; and if you need red diesel, white diesel and kerosene we can deliver all three in one delivery too.

Sounds like an emergency. We can get you up and running in just a few hours with our emergency red diesel delivery service. Please note, this service is unavailable to home heating oil customers due to the high costs that emergency delivery incurs.
