DERV, also known as diesel, is a liquid fuel designed for use in diesel engines and is most commonly used in on-road vehicles. It’s also widely used in off-road applications that can no longer use red diesel following the 2022 fuel duty changes.

Commonly asked questions about diesel
What is the price of DERV?
Diesel prices fluctuate daily as a result of the global oil market, which is why we are unable to publish fixed prices online. Adding to this, other variables can impact prices, such as your required quantity and location.
It’s always best to speak to one of our fuel specialists who can check the current prices and provide you with an accurate quote. Our account managers know the market inside out, so they will always do their best to give you a competitive bulk diesel price.
Where can I buy DERV from?
DERV fuel can be bought from many oil suppliers across the UK but it’s important to choose one that offers a reliable and quality supply service. Crown Oil has over 140+ tankers and fuel depots strategically located across the country, which allows us to offer some of the quickest delivery times in the industry.
As well as quality service, our diesel is derived straight from the refinery, which ensures we supply only the highest quality DERV to our customers. And finally, our large buying power allows us to buy in bulk so we can then pass on these savings to you in the form of competitive prices.
What are the delivery options for bulk diesel?
We supply DERV fuel in quantities from 1,000 litres to 36,000+ via our articulated tankers. Once you’ve placed an order with your account manager, we can deliver to a range of diesel tanks across the UK.

Why not switch to a 100% renewable diesel?
HVO fuel is a direct replacement for diesel. It meets the EN15940 standard for paraffinic fuels, ASTM D975, and the Fuel Quality Directive 2009/30/EC Annex II, and has a wide range of OEM approvals, meaning it can be used without needing engine or machinery modification.
HVO offers a huge range of benefits, including excellent year-round performance, cleaner burning properties, a vastly increased storage life, and up to 90% lower net CO2 emissions.

Protect your DERV from theft
Diesel Defender is a blue liquid anti-theft marker that’s formulated to be used with each delivery of UK non-rebated fuel (white diesel, DERV, or road diesel), acting as a deterrent to thieves.
Many businesses and applications lost access to rebated fuel (red diesel/gas oil) in April 2022. This means that stored fuel now appears identical to that purchased for personal use, putting white diesel stocks at a much higher risk of being stolen.
