 HVO fuel is rapidly gaining attention as a practical alternative to conventional diesel, but one question often sits behind the excitement: what does EN 15940 actually mean for the people using it? The answer is reassuring: EN 15940 provides a clear technical framework for paraffinic diesel fuels such as HVO, helping users understand fuel quality, performance and compatibility. In this guide, we’ll explain what EN 15940 is, how it relates to HVO fuel , what the standard covers, why vehicle compatibility still matters, and what users should check before switching to HVO . What Is EN 15940? EN 15940 is a European fuel standard covering paraffinic diesel fuel produced through synthesis or hydrotreatment . The current British version, BS EN 15940:2023, specifies requirements and test methods for these fuels and recognises two classes based on cetane performance. For HVO users, this is important because HVO is produced through a hydrotreatment process and falls within the family o...

Fuel purchasing is one of those jobs on a farm that can easily become reactive. The tank gets low, machinery needs to go back into the field, and an order has to be placed quickly. That approach may work occasionally, but it is not an efficient way to manage agricultural fuel over an entire year. For farms that rely heavily on tractors, combines, telehandlers, generators, grain-drying equipment and other fuel-dependent machinery, purchasing decisions need to reflect the way the business actually operates. Demand changes with the season, the workload, weather conditions and the type of farming being carried out. A well-planned approach to agricultural oil purchases gives farmers greater control over fuel availability, expenditure and operational risk. It also makes it easier to prepare for periods when fuel consumption can increase significantly. The objective is not to predict the exact day when fuel prices will be at their lowest. It is to make sure the right quantity of fuel is avai...
