- Sulphur limit and specification
01 / Understand the requirement
Tell us the specification
you need.
Diesel requirements depend on the specification, including the sulphur limit, cetane number, cold-flow behaviour and density. EN590 and D2 should not be treated as interchangeable. Tell us the requirements at the destination, or what your engines and storage are certified for. We will check what can be sourced and explain what still needs confirmation.
Start with your specification
We do not publish a grade list for Diesel. Tell us the standard or technical limits you need so we can check what can be sourced.

Questions about
Diesel.
Answers to common questions about sourcing Diesel.
Is EN590 the same as D2?
No. EN590 is a European specification with defined limits. D2 is a trade name used differently across markets. Tell us the standard required at your destination or the technical limits you need.
Why do you need the sulphur limit?
The sulphur limit usually determines the sourcing location, which affects freight and price. A 10 ppm requirement and a 500 ppm requirement are sourced from different places. If you are unsure, tell us the destination and intended use so we can identify the applicable limit.
Can you quote before I confirm the specification?
We can discuss what can be sourced and what would affect the price. We need the specification confirmed before giving a firm price.
How does the destination affect sourcing?
Yes. The destination affects the permitted specification, freight, unloading arrangements and suitable sourcing locations. A port or country is enough to begin.
Do you need the cold-flow requirements?
Yes, if the fuel will be stored or used in cold conditions. Cloud point, pour point and cold filter plugging point determine whether the fuel stays usable in winter, and they vary by sourcing location and season. Tell us the destination climate and the period of use.
