Minimum Order Quantities & Eligibility with your Red Diesel Supplier
We value the time of Businesses in Manchester. To ensure we are the right Red Diesel Supplier in Manchester for you, we must be clear about our delivery rules around Manchester.
The 500L Rule
As a Manchester-based commercial bulk fuel supplier, our minimum delivery quantity is 200 litres. We cannot deliver less than this amount. This is not because we do not want to help small users. It is a technical limitation.
Why We Cannot Deliver Less
We use large commercial tankers. These trucks have powerful industrial pumps.
- Metering: The meters on our trucks are designed for high volume. They cannot accurately measure amounts under 500 litres.
- Air locks: Pumping a small amount can cause air to get trapped in the long delivery hoses. This can damage the pump and the truck.
Eligibility Checklist
Before you order, please check these three points. If you can say “Yes” to all three, we can help you today.
- Do you have a fixed storage tank? We deliver to static tanks, not into loose jerry cans or vehicle fuel tanks directly.
- Is the tank capacity 200L or more? You must have space (ullage) for at least 200 litres.
- Is the intake point accessible? A road vehicle must be able to get within hose distance of your tank.
Small Bulk Delivery (200L – 2,500L) and the 205 Litre Red Diesel Barrel Price
We often get asked about the 205 litre red diesel barrel price. This is a common query for smaller sites, such as small farms or construction projects.
Why Bulk is Better Than Barrels
While we understand the appeal of a barrel (drum), we strongly advise buying in “Small Bulk” (500L+) instead.
Buying individual 205-litre drums is the most expensive way to buy fuel. You are paying for:
-
The cost of the metal drum itself.
-
The manual labor to fill it.
-
The delivery of a packaged good (pallets) rather than a pumped liquid.
When you move up to a bulk delivery of 500 litres or more, the price per litre drops significantly. You get the “wholesale” benefit without needing to buy a massive amount.
Vehicle Logistics: Baby Tankers
You might worry that a big truck cannot fit on your site. We have solved this problem.
We operate a fleet of “Baby Tankers” and 4-wheeler trucks.
-
Size: These trucks are much smaller than standard lorries.
-
Agility: They are perfect for tight farm tracks, narrow lanes, and busy construction sites.
-
Reach: They carry long hoses to reach tanks tucked away behind buildings.
This service is perfect for backup generators at small businesses or independent farms. You get the bulk price benefit without needing a massive industrial fuel depot.
Vehicle Logistics: Articulated Tankers
For Large orders, we use Articulated Tankers (Artics). These are the giants of the road.
- Capacity: They can deliver up to 36,000 litres in a single drop.
- Efficiency: This is the most cost-effective way to buy fuel. One delivery covers your needs for weeks or months.
