HCOTEG91600 - Deliveries from Warehouse: Duty-paid deliveries: Full duty-rate
Bunkering of vehicles at duty-suspended installations
Only duty-paid heavy oil may be supplied as a motor fuel by a duty-suspended installation, to vehicles conveying mineral oil to or from the installation.
Unrebated kerosene
Excise law does not bar the delivery of kerosene from duty-suspended storage as road fuel, provided it is not marked or dyed and it is duty paid at the un-rebated rate.
We allow marked kerosene to be used as a red diesel substitute at the rebated gas oil rate (ideally it should also be marked as red diesel) but we do not allow it to be used as a road fuel.
There is UK legislation prohibiting the marketing or use of kerosene as a road fuel in view of its high sulphur content - typically about 1270 parts per million (p.p.m.) but in some military grades are more than (>) 3000 p.p.m.
Deliveries of Aviation gasoline (AVGAS)
AVGAS is a light oil specially produced as fuel for aircraft and delivered from warehouse solely for that purpose. Such deliveries are liable for duty at half of the un-rebated light oil rate.

Delivery to General Lighthouse Authorities.
As General Lighthouse Authorities:
- The Corporation of Trinity House, London
- The Northern Lighthouse Board, Edinburgh, and
- The Commissioners of Irish Lights, Dublin
receive some deliveries of oil duty free ( see Notice 179, 7.11 ) but this is on the wane due to the use of electric lighting.
See Table E HCOTEG211250 for details of Tax Type Codes- Mineral Oil Descriptions, and Table F HCOTEG211500 for details of un-rebated/rebated Tax Type Codes.
