Industrial Heating Oil FAQs
Are you using the most cost-effective fuel for heating your business?

What is Industrial Heating Oil (IHO)?
IHO is our drop-in alternative to red diesel that is explicitly designed for commercial boiler applications to heat boilers, heaters and dryers. Except for the cetane value, it is fully compatible with Bs3869 Class A2 10ppm and Class D 1000pm.
This meets the British standard for heating oil, and it has identical physical properties and calorific value to gas oil. However, IHO is a much more efficient heating fuel; it gives you the same heat output as gas oil but for less money.
Benefits of using IHO?
Industrial heating oil has a whole host of benefits:
– No risk of waxing in cold temperatures – Unlike Gas Oil, It has a low CFFP/pour point and is a winter-grade solution.
– It’s FAME free, so there is no risk of diesel bug attacks – store it all year round.
– Drop-in alternative to gas oil with no modifications required
– Prolonged shelf life – Buy in bulk and store all year round
– Same heat output but for less money
How is Industrial Heating Oil cheaper than Gas Oil?
As IHO is only permitted for use in heating applications, this grade’s production is more economical. IHO has a higher calorific value meaning it produces more energy than standard diesel, providing more heat for your money.
Will switching to industrial heating oil disrupt my business?
Switching over to IHO is seamless as it’s a drop-in alternative and is fully miscible with red diesel. You don’t need to empty your existing gas oil stocks; you can top up your tank and start heating your commercial buildings with IHO.
