In the UK the price of heating oil varies daily and from day to day due to a number of key factors.

When FAME was introduced into Road Diesel the automotive sector and oil industry learnt very quickly how it impacted on the supply chain that distributed it and the vehicles that it fuelled. Much of this considerable experience will now have relevance to Gas Oil users who need to understand how the inclusion of FAME (a hydroscopic powerful solvent with good detergency properties) will affect their tanks and engines.   

Twelve years ago, in 2006, the British Standard for non-road diesel (BS2869) was revised to allow the addition of FAME to both Gas Oil (Red Diesel) and Road Diesel (White Diesel). This was done to enable renewable fuels to be introduced into the UK under the Renewable Fuel Transport Obligation (RTFO). However this was rarely realised in UK Gas Oil supply chain, and to date most Gas Oil supplied by has been FAME free.
